| Abstract: | This study is focused on direct speech acts, as part of the family of control acts, in emails from Romanian academia. Its aim is twofold: firstly it attempts at identifying these speech acts according to contextual factors, such as the status of the participants (professors, secretary vs. doctoral students), their relationship and the right of the recipients to refuse compliance (Vine 2004). Secondly, it aims at providing a linguistic description of the directives. The qualitative analysis resulted in four discursive strategies of persuading the recipient to accept the participation either at workshops or at academic meetings. These strategies consist in starting the email with an explicit or implicit invitation as a premise to initiate an order, accompanied by repetition, justification and expression of solidarity. The linguistic devices that the writers used refer to finite verbal forms, such as the indicative and the subjuctive, and to deontic vs. appreciative upgraded markers. Both the discursive and the grammatical strategies contributed to persuading the recipients to comply with the directives and accounted at the same time the complexity and the difficulty that senders encountered in initiating these direct speech acts. |
