Romanian Imperative from the Perspective of Pragmatic Principle of (im)Politeness. Following a short presentation of the principle of politeness, the article approaches the Romanian imperative identifying negative and positive strategies of (im)politeness, which the imperative is part of. There were identified conventional forms of impoliteness of imperative. The exemplification of (im)polite strategies is based on a corpus elaborated by us. The imperative is present in the most diverse strategies of (im)politeness, however the occurrence of imperative does not mean the interlocutor’s threatening act toward the public image (face threatening act). The interpretation depends on several factors, among which the situation of the communication, the relationship between the interlocutors, the presence of intensifiers or attenuators etc.

Keywords: imperative, politeness, face, strategies of politeness, impoliteness.
