The research aims to reveal the peculiarities of the linguistic means of imperative utterances which function in the lecture and sermon discourses. They encourage students/parishioners to engage in the learning process fully. The following tasks were formulated: to categorize imperative utterances in the view of characteristic features of the mentioned discourses; to characterize the lexical-syntactic peculiarities of each type of imperative phrases. The object of the research is an oral English-language institutional discourse of two kinds – academic (lecture) and religious (sermon). The subject of the study is the lexical and syntactic arrangement of imperative utterances in the lecture and sermon discourses. To achieve the aim, both general scientific and unique linguistic research methods found application. Conclusions of the study are as follows: the functioning of imperative utterances in the sermon and lecture discourse is determined by such linguistic and extralinguistic factors as the expressiveness/implicitness of the imperative constructions, the syntactic structure of the imperative constructions, the communicative-pragmatic orientation, and the targeted nature of the order/ localization of the imperative construction in the compositional text structure. In our work, direct and indirect explicit constructions, aimed at an immediate action, are viewed as operational imperative statements. According to the communicative-pragmatic orientation and considering the temporal signs, we distinguish two main types of motivation: simultaneous and post-communicative. The communicative-pragmatic orientation criterion also makes it possible to single out constructions intended to induce physical/mental impact (in lectures) and spiritual/mental impact (in sermons). The prospect of further investigation is studying non-verbal features of lecture and sermon discourses.

The article outlines the main system formative criteria indicative of lecture and sermon discourses belonging to an institutional discourse. In accordance with the universal model of the institutional discourse description lecture and sermon discourses have been viewed in the article. The following components of lecture and sermon discourses such as communicants, local and temporal characteristics, aims, values, strategies, subjects, varieties and genres, precedential texts, discursive formulae have been described and analyzed. Distinctive and integral properties of the given discourses have been ascertained. Among mutual criteria of the discourses under study the wide usage of precedential texts in both lecture and sermon discourses should be mentioned. Realized in the form of citation these texts can function either as a starting point for the further argumentation or as an argument itself. The research allowed to prove the belonging of the investigated discourses to an institutional discourse in spite of the occurrence of the elements of personal and existential discourses within these institutional formations.
