In Verbal Behavior Skinner identifies a small number of elementary verbal relations, one of which is the mand. Because its introduction is at first in terms of unlearned motivative variables, and because the mand's relation to prior controlling events is quite complex, its general significance has probably been underestimated. An extensive treatment of establishing operations, including the warning and the blocked-response conditioned establishing operations is provided, followed by a description of the mand in terms of such operations. The importance of the mand for language training programs is suggested, as well as the reasons why it is typically neglected in such programs.
在《言语行为》中，斯金纳识别出了少量基本言语关系，其中之一是祈使。由于其最初是根据先天动机变量引入的，且由于祈使与先前控制事件的关系相当复杂，其一般意义可能被低估了。文中对建立操作进行了广泛论述，包括警告和受阻反应条件性建立操作，随后根据这些操作对祈使进行了描述。文中指出了祈使对语言训练项目的重要性，以及它在这类项目中通常被忽视的原因。
