This paper explores typicality of the forms and semantic functions of the English Imperatives. A list of the forms and semantic functions of English imperatives was examined from previous studies, and a Likert-scale survey was conducted with 13 participants, asking them to differentiate between typical and atypical English imperatives and to investigate variations in the degree of atypicality. The results are as follows: First, as for typicality in the forms of English imperatives, the subjects considered VERB and Please VERB to be typical, whereas Can(Could) you VERB, You should VERB, I need you VERB, and Let's VERB were deemed atypical. And when comparing the degree of typicality, it was observed in the following order: VERB> Please VERB> You should VERB> I need you VERB> Can(Could) you VERB> Let's VERB. Regarding the semantic function of English imperatives, the subjects judged ‘command(directive)’ and ‘request’ as typical semantic functions, while ‘advice, invitation, permission, and suggestion’ were seen as atypical. And when looking at the degree of typicality for semantic functions, they were ranked in the order of command(directive)> request> advice> suggestion> invitation> permission.
