https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2019-80-5-60-65

Abstract

The article analyses imperative forms used to express the meaning of concession, which is one of the most frequent indirect uses of imperative forms in the modern Russian language. The author distinguishes three types of complex sentences with imperative forms expressing the meaning of concession. In order to describe these sentence types in detail, a large number of examples was analysed. By means of comparison, the main differences between the direct and indirect uses of imperative forms in the Russian language were established.
