The Grammar of Expressivity

ISBN: 9780198812128 出版年：2019 页码：311 Gutzmann, Daniel Oxford University Press

This volume provides a detailed account of the syntax of expressive language. Based on case studies of expressive adjectives, intensifiers, and vocatives, it offers a new analysis of expressivity that bridges the gap between semantic and syntactic accounts, and shows that expressivity is a syntactic feature and not a purely semantic phenomenon.
