TY - JOUR TI - The first imperative of Tungusic AU - de la Fuente, José Andrés Alonso TI - The first imperative of Tungusic AB - In this paper it will be argued that the “so-called” paradigm of the First Imperative of Tungusic is secondary. The functions attributed to the First Imperative may have been originally conveyed by particles or structures which are preserved in Manchuric. However, they were grammaticalized and modeled into a paradigm only in Common Tungusic.
