I would like to identify if a given sentence is imperative, ie it contains an instruction for someone to do something. Eg:
- (Please) (Would be great if you could) Send me the PDF I asked for
- (I request you to) (Please) Submit your resignation tomorrow
Specifically, I'm looking for an answer that is along the lines of: How to find out if a sentence is a question (interrogative)?
Here, an SBARQ node containing an optional SQ node is indicative of a question (interrogative). Is there a similar way to check for imperative?
One idea I have is to check if the root node is a verb (VB, VBP, VBD, etc), but this may be too broad / incomplete? Any other ideas?
