Claimf19a129a8bec62dc6254d641033d3b8328b8a5ba10de4c1564cb6e512397e9b4·Paper reconstruction — Maria Esipova (2025), In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force

Claim

TG treat affect-related content in exclamatives and declarative exclamations as asserted, but direct denials of speakers' emotional states are infelicitous after those utterances, whereas such denials are felicitous after overt assertions with amazed or surprised.

Evidence (3)

In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force — Discourse behavior: denials, question-addressing, and embedding
the speaker ’s “ emotional state ” can very well be denied in response to assertions
