Claim90a27f19f62a970e11e2a16efe7b60b5b3663d4bcea029f94b183c1f00eff442·Paper reconstruction — Andreas Trotzke & Anastasia Giannakidou (2025), The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language

Claim

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.

Evidence (2)

The landscape of exclamations: brief musings on emotive language — Exclaiming as pervasive modification rather than a distinct force or clause type
there is no need to assume a dedicated force other than assertion (3a), question (3b), or command (3c).
