Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Pragmatics; Semantics; Syntax 

Meeting Description: 

All in all, our workshop aims at providing new insights into the question to
what extent grammatical reflexes of the expressive dimension of language
exist, and we consider this an innovative enterprise, given that the common
assumption in modern linguistics (still) is that emotions play a marginal or
even no role at all when we look at the human language faculty from a
syntactic perspective.

This workshop is part of the funded research project ''The interpretation of
functional categories'' (FFI2017-82547-P)
