ABSTRACT
This paper provides the first documentation and analysis of expressive
nouns in Ktunaxa, a severely endangered language isolate spoken in
Interior British Columbia and the northwest United States. Ktunaxa
expressives liberally allow non-speaker-oriented interpretations under
attitude reports. This contrasts English expressives, which are
usually speaker-oriented. Most accounts of English expressives treat
their judge as contextually variable (e.g. Potts 2007, Schlenker
2007). I argue this analysis is better suited for Ktunaxa, and I
suggest more rigid theory of expressives in English to account for
their default orientation to the speaker.
