The scientific article for the first time presents a study of the ways of expressing motives on the material of the Khanty language. These methods are comprehensively analyzed in specific communicative situations used by the speaker and addressed to the listener. The imperative paradigm in speech constructs includes word forms of the verbal lexeme, expressing an imperative meaning addressed to the listener. As a result of linguistic analysis of such speech acts, it is revealed that the speaker’s will regarding the execution of the called action is expressed regardless of who performs the action: the listener, the speaker, the person not participating in the speech act, or any combination of the listed persons. The main (nuclear) way of expressing an impulse is an imperative construct.
