Claimf86e057f845ca9a00cd443fea55fbfb1ff8d05dfcb82888420a145f72c5449bb·Paper reconstruction — Maria Esipova (2025), In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force

Claim

In Esipova's expressive-intensification analysis, exclamatives are a subcase in which degree intensification and affect do converge: the truth-conditional component says that the degree warrants use of the expressive form, while producing that form expresses affect.

Evidence (1)

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

the two do indeed seem to come together
