At-Issue Material in Spanish Degree Exclamatives : An Experimental Study
Villalba, Xavier, 1969- (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)

Resumen:	In this chapter I have offered empirical evidence concerning the nature of the levels of meaning involved in Spanish degree exclamatives. Particularly, by means of two denial experiments I have tested what speakers perceive as the at-issue meaning of an exclamative. The interpretation experiment showed that they more easily cancel the ascription of the property (i. e. , "Mary is tall") than the high degree part (i. e. , "Mary is taller than expected"), which was interpreted as evidence that only the former meaning was clearly at-issue.
