This article presents the first results of a pilot project aiming at analyzing how European sign languages realize a syntactic domain that is very solid, likely to be grammaticalized in any language but very poorly described or not described at all for sign languages: the imperative. Our innovative approach covers the characterization of the manual and non-manual components that identify imperatives in Italian, French and Catalan Sign Language, together with a number of other properties typically associated with imperative clauses in spoken languages.

Abstract
This article presents the first results of a pilot project aiming at analyzing how European sign languages realize a syntactic domain that is very solid, likely to be grammaticalized in any language but very poorly described or not described at all for sign languages: the imperative. Our innovative approach covers the characterization of the manual and non-manual components that identify imperatives in Italian, French and Catalan Sign Language, together with a number of other properties typically associated with imperative clauses in spoken languages.
