type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Because central acceptability and denial judgments differ considerably, disputed descriptive and theoretical claims require experimental or corpus support rather than untested introspection alone.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Based on experimental data from the cited studies, the authors concluded that the descriptive content of degree wh-exclamatives can be denied and that such exclamatives can felicitously answer information-seeking questions.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Prominent prior work reported introspective judgments about exclamatives that the authors regard as counter-intuitive and inaccurate.

type: InformationNode
text: Only a small number of studies have experimentally tested recurring and reproduced judgments about exclamations.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: The authors agree that direct denial after the elliptical forms in (9) is stranger than denial after the non-elliptical forms in (10), but judge weak denial strategies after (9) to be acceptable; whether Esipova shares that judgment remains unknown.

type: Claim
type: InformationNode
text: Castroviejo judges that declarative, elliptical exclamative, and non-elliptical emotive-assertion responses are all felicitous both to a question about descriptive content and to one about emotional state; the authors agree with this judgment.
