The purpose of this article is to discuss the incorporation of linguistic research results on the variable expression of the imperative in Portuguese classes based on the analysis of high school coursebooks licensed by the Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) in its versions of 2015 and 2018. We introduce the tradition perspective related to the imperative and some of the results of linguistic research on the variable statute of the grammatical imperative in Brazilian Portuguese. Thus, we corroborate that the approach of the imperative is given conservatively in accordance with the precepts of grammatical tradition, reinforcing only its illocutionary value for the construction of meaning.Downloads
