DESCRIPTION:Expressives such as "damn" convey a negative speaker attitude
 \, but the target of that attitude is often not the expression’s syntact
 ic sister. In "The dog ate the damn cake"\, the speaker may be understoo
 d as upset at the dog\, the cake\, or the event as a whole. Pragmatic ac
 counts attribute this flexibility to inference\, whereas syntactic accou
 nts derive it from structural constraints. This talk examines whether th
 e negative emotional valence of potential targets modulates this choice\
 , and whether the effect is categorical or gradient. It also asks whethe
 r expressive emojis (The dog 😡 lies on the sofa) show the same degree of
  locality as expressive adjectives.
