| Imperativeness is one of the important functions of language. When most Chinese students express imperative intentions in Russian, they are inclined to use direct instead of indirect speech. But in the ordinary communication in Russia, people are more likely to use different grammatical devices to express their imperative intentions. Such expressions not only makes the tone tactful, but also embody the polite manner of the speaker. Therefore, a deep and systematic study of different sentence patterns, which can express imperative meanings indirectly, will make us understand other's intentions better, and also promote smooth communication by using these sentences correctly.Indirect Speech Acts is a completely new theory in pragmatics,and it is the development and consummation of J.L.Austin's Speech Act Theory.
