Constructions with positive forms of imperative in the New Testament
The article is dedicated to the study of the formal and functional properties of constructions that include positive forms of grammatical imperative in the New Testament. The analysis takes into account forms of moods and aspects. The imperative meaning has three main categories: directive (order, instruction, command), advice (recommendation, advice, exhortation), and request. Estimation of the meaning is based on the classification of V. S. Khrakovsky and A. P. Volodin. The change of aspect forms in the imperative can be explained as an attempt of the speaker to express the change in location or time. The article presents the analysis of ten constructions that combine imperative and futurum, imperative and infinitive, imperative and subordinate clauses of the aim and cause. The last part of the research presents interaction of imperative with casus realis and casus futuralis
