  conclusion:
    claim id: cmsl48cr6050mg1mafu74ne0b
    text: This elliptical syntax is restricted to particular verb-final or embedded wh cases; other forms, including German V2 forms, require other analyses, and no universal exclamative syntax is proposed.
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl47t1a04z0g1maiatlzaiw
    text: In the focal degree wh cases, the analysis may involve ellipsis of a higher emotive predicate and embedding under a higher assertive predicate.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48di4050og1mabk2kqdul
    text: Searle and Vanderveken classify exclaim together with announce and interject, and say that these verbs do not restrict an utterance's illocutionary point.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48dk2050qg1ma4yjzjydd
    text: Exclamation prosody and meaning can apply to a metalinguistic comparative, a non-canonical question, and an emphatic imperative, so these cases need no force beyond assertion, question, or command.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48dk3050sg1ma74c31xoi
    text: The verb exclaim cannot itself serve as an explicit performative in the way that verbs such as apologize can; exclamation prosody, rather than merely using the verb, realizes the performative character.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48dk4050vg1macfk1wggo
    text: The authors' focal degree wh-exclamatives appear to have syntax confined to an exclamatory reading, which is why prior literature has postulated a dedicated exclamative clause type.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48dk4050wg1ma9mtnclly
    text: The authors maintain that degree wh-exclamatives can instead be analyzed as assertions, without an additional exclamation force.
    is implicit: false
  premises:
    claim id: cmsl48dwv050yg1ma7khqh3eo
    text: Their elliptical assertive-matrix analysis is only proposed for verb-final/embedded wh-exclamatives such as German (4a), not for V2 forms such as (4b).
