Communicative types of sentences. 
In accord with the purpose of communication three cardinal sentence-types 
have long been recognized in linguistic tradition: first, the declarative sentence; 
second, the imperative (inductive) sentence; third, the interrogative sentence. 
The declarative sentence expresses a statement, either affirmative or 
negative, and as such stands in systemic syntagmatic correlation with listener’s 
responding signals of attention, of appraisal (including agreement or 
disagreement), or of fellow-feeling. 
The imperative sentence expresses inducement, either affirmative or 
negative. That is, it urges the listener, in the form of request or command, to 
perform or not to perform a certain action. As such, the imperative sentence is 
situationally connected with the corresponding ‘action response’, and lingually is 
systemically correlated with a verbal response showing that the inducement is 
either complied with, or else rejected. 
The interrogative sentence expresses a question, i.e. a request for 
information wanted by the speaker from the listener. It is naturally connected with 
the answer, forming together with it a question-answer dialogue unity.
