13.1.3.2 Total exclamatives

The illocutionary effect of total exclamatives can be marked only through prosody. In such cases, where the syntax is that of a declarative, the whole sentence is annotated under IP-IND and externally labelled CP-EXL:
( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (NP-SBJ (D-F Essa))
		  (SR-P é)
		  (ADJP (ADJ-F boa)))
	  (. !))
  (TYCHO BRAHE; ID C_005_PSD,115.897))

( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (NP-SBJ *pro*)
		  (ADVP (ADV Ainda))
		  (NEG não)
		  (ET-P estou)
		  (PP (P em)
		      (NP (PRO mim))))
	  (. !))
  (TYCHO BRAHE; ID G-004,0.2934))

( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (NP-SBJ *pro*)
		  (VB-P Enganas@)
		  (NP-ACC (CL @te)))
	  (. !))
  (POST SCRIPTUM; ID CARDS0108,.9))

( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (NP-SBJ *pro*)
		  (VB-P-3P @Ganham)
		  (NP-DAT (CL @me))
		  (NP-ACC (D-UM um) (N dinheirão)))
	  (. !))
  (CORDIAL-SIN; ID VPA06,23))

( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (NP-SBJ-1 *exp*)
		  (CP-CLF (WNP-2 0)
			  (IP-SUB (NP-ACC *T*-2)
				  (NP-SBJ *exp*)
				  (PP (P @Em)
				      (NP (D @aquele) (N tempo)))
				  (FP só)
				  (HV-D-3S havia)))
		  (SR-D-3S era)
		  (NP-1 (N miséria)))
	  (. !))
  (CORDIAL-SIN; ID VPA06,51))

( (CP-EXL (IP-IND (INTJ Ai)
		  (, ,)
		  (NP-SBJ (PRO eu))
		  (ADVP (ADV dantes))
		  (VB-D-1S dançava)
		  (ADVP (ADV-R tão) (ADV bem)))
	  (. !))
  (CORDIAL-SIN; ID VPA52,1))
 
  
  • In cases of structural identity between an interrogative clause and an exclamative clause, the ending punctuation mark is taken into account;
  • Imperative clauses ended by an exclamation mark are always annotated as IP-IMP/CP-IMP.
