Abstract	In Japanese, subject-honorifics and high-applicative suffixes have an interaction with an imperative sentence type in speech act assignment. Examining nasar-based subject-honorifics, Yamada (2020) proposes that this seemingly complex speech act assignment is easily accounted for by incorporating Optimality Theory (OT) into Dynamic Pragmatics (hence, OT-driven Dynamic Pragmatics, OT-DP). Unfortunately, however, the previous literature has two problems to solve. First, an imperative sentence with kudasar- (a high-applicative, subject-honorific expression) can be combined with a force which is not predicted by Yamada (2020). Second, the well-formedness of speech act assignment depends on the choice of a subject-honorific marking. The purpose of the current paper is to develop the OT-DP by proposing a solution to these problematic cases. To be more precise, we show that these apparently challenging cases are explained if we decompose of illocutionary forces, and incorporate morpheme/constructionspecific pragmatic constraints.
