Claim2c4f9558f5b2805799fa55dc509b870236653868f3d459374a0e8507b560b80f·Paper reconstruction — Andreas Trotzke & Anastasia Giannakidou (2024), Exclamation, intensity, and emotive assertion

Claim

The inability of a because-clause to scope over the apparent null emotive predicate in a root dass-exclamative does not rule out ellipsis, because ellipsis acceptability depends substantially on discourse structure as well as syntactic identity conditions.

Evidence (1)

Exclamation, intensity, and emotive assertion — German embedding, complementizers, and modal particles

discourse structure, and not only syntactic (identity) conditions, play a dominant role
