Abstract | Sociolinguists have recently demonstrated the value of directives in indicating the relationship between status and linguistic form. The purpose of the instrument developed for this study was to quantify the coerciveness of directives on the basis of the theoretical approaches in the literature to objectify the comparison of directive forms. Drawing largely from the work of Ervin-Tripp, the instrument analyzed directives according to: voluntariness to involuntariness of compliance, ambiguity to lack of ambiguity in message form recipient of compliance benefit, and type of action requested. Salient additions and modifications to the basic directive form were also considered. The instrument was tested on 900 directives transcribed from taped, naturalistic interactions among three homogeneous groups of adolescent females from different class and ethnic backgrounds.
