Claim20175ce437ff0bcc810c196cf87dfb7dbe3444e36ef90ef7a2b359342445c8d7·Paper reconstruction — Andreas Trotzke & Anastasia Giannakidou (2025), The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language

Claim

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).

Evidence (2)

The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language — Exclaiming as pervasive modification rather than a distinct force or clause type
We have not claimed that our syntactic analysis for (4a), with verbfi nal/embedded word order, should also hold for (4b)
