Imperative mood (lat. impero – to command) is a grammatical mood used to express commands as well as other speech acts such as: explanation, permission, advice, invitation, direction, etc. It can be distinguished from other grammatical moods based on suprasegmental (prosodic), morphological, and syntactic markers. So far, imperative mood is described in many spoken languages, but research on sign language imperatives are only starting to emerge. The aim of this research was to determine is there imperative mood in Croatian Sign Language (HZJ), if so, to describe different types of imperatives in HZJ, as well as its’ characteristics and structural features. For the purpose of this study, research material consisted of two tasks was created. Each item in a task contained HZJ signs presented in a video form, with a goal to elicit production of different imperative types. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The results show that HZJ expresses imperative mood by using nonmanual markers, manual markers as well as word order variation. By using different features, HZJ can express different imperative types. Furrowed brows and body lean forward are most frequently used nonmanuals, while manual markers used in imperatives are variations in sing duration and sharpness of movement. Speech act that can be expressed in HZJ by using different type of imperatives can also use different language means, such means primarily being modal and performative verbs as well as adverbs. This paper contributes to the description of HZJ grammar as it confirms the complexity of this language system. Also, the paper motivates future research of HZJ, it contributes to teaching HZJ as a second language, and encourages the importance of its application, and role in Deaf education.
