Claime5dad2982e0045452949b9ae0a887d6d68bd97cd7e97da768a7c4d26c1e1c33e·Paper reconstruction — Maria Esipova (2025), In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force

Claim

Even if emotive-predicate complements default to high-degree readings, those defaults can be pragmatically explained or compositionally enriched, and do not eliminate the separation of the two intensities.

Evidence (1)

In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force — Intensity, affect, and the limits of the rival analysis

the intensity of a ff ect and the intensity of the degree in its source do come apart easily in the case of truth-conditional emotive predicates.
