type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Trotzke and Giannakidou's target analysis equates exclamatives with emotive assertions, including a silent emotive-predicate structure, partly on their apparent shared surprise effects and question–answer behavior.

text: Trotzke and Giannakidou argue that exclamatives are emotive assertions.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Their proposal treats a root exclamative as equivalent both to a subordinate clause embedded under an emotive predicate and to a declarative exclamation.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Trotzke and Giannakidou’s uniform analysis is intended to avoid positing exclamatives as a distinct sentence type with its own illocutionary force.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: The proposed equivalence is initially intuitively plausible because all of the illustrated structures convey speaker surprise at Ada’s speed.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Their broader assumption is that, under suitable discourse conditions, exclamatives can answer information-seeking questions.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: As empirical support, Trotzke and Giannakidou argue that exclamatives pattern with emotive assertions in question–answer pairs.
