Abstract:

This book reconsiders the linguistic notion of emphasis. For many, the concept
of emphasis is confined to information structure. However, our understanding
of the grammatical reflexes of emphasis is only partial as long as the
expressive side of utterances is not taken into account. The book explores
similarities, differences, and interactions between information structure and
the expressive dimension of language in the domain of natural language
grammar.

Specifically, this monograph demonstrates that specific word order options,
sometimes in combination with discourse particles, yield meaning effects that
are typical for the expressive side of utterances and endow them with an
exclamative flavor. Approaching this issue from a syntactic point of view, the
book shows that there are syntactic categories (e.g., a certain class of
particle verbs) and word orders (e.g., certain fronting patterns involving
discourse particles) that directly connect to expressive meaning components.
The work presented in this monograph combines theoretical analysis with
experimental evidence from both perception and production studies.
