Claim01d8bcd0ac933f8764be074cecca3f12057ef809f95954dbea57d347c8eaf388·Paper reconstruction — Andreas Trotzke & Anastasia Giannakidou (2025), The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language

Claim

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.

Evidence (2)

The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language — Exclaiming as pervasive modification rather than a distinct force or clause type
the performative character of the utterance could be realized by exclamation prosody
