Ingredients for a causal analysis of order and forbid

Orders and prohibitions have received much attention in the literature on imperatives on the one hand (e.g. Condoravdi and Lauer, 2008; Kaufmann, 2012) and in the literature on attitudes and most specifically expletive negation on the other (e.g. Espinal, 2000; Yoon, 2013; Mari and Tahar 2020). Among the questions that this literature has left open is the one of the lexical semantics of forbid, in contrast and comparison with the lexical semantics of order. Finding existing proposals wanting, we argue for a causal model analysis that captures the facts about aspect, animacy, and authority for order and forbid sentences by explicitly representing stimulatory and inhibitory causal relations (in the spirit of Lewis's (1974) "neuron diagrams”).
