The seven essays in this volume, each by a leading specialist on the topic, scrutinize the syntax-as well as the semantic and pragmatic aspects-of exclamations on theoretical grounds.\u003cbr\u003e The book begins by summarizing, commenting on, and evaluating previous descriptive and theoretical contributions on Spanish exclamatives. This introductory overview also contains a detailed classification of Spanish exclamative grammatical types, along with an analysis of their main properties. Special attention is devoted in the book throughoutto the syntactic structures displayed by exclamative patterns; the differences between exclamations and other speech acts (specifically questions and imperatives); the peculiar semantic denotation of exclamative words and their relationship to quantifiers denoting high degree; the semantics of adjectives and adverbs expressing extreme evaluation; the form and interpretation of negated and embedded exclamatives; the properties of optative utterances; and the different ways in which expressive contents are related to unexpected reactions of the speaker, as well as possible knowledge shared by interlocutors.\u003cbr\u003e This groundbreaking volume provides a complete and accurate picture of Spanish exclamation by integrating its numerous component parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignacio Bosque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814253881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814253885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Ignacio Bosque","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052668842239,"sku":"9780814253885","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3bf23cc-d862-487a-8922-deb448e549a8.jpg?v=1685020119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advances-in-the-analysis-of-ignacio-bosque-9780814253885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
