Title: Exclamative Interjections in Dialogue
Abstract:
The talk addresses Divine-scatological interjections (DSIs),
non-sentential utterances (NSUs) that in English have the form
`Oh ...' where … can be `(my) god, jesus christ,…, damn, shit,
fuck.’ Divine-scatological interjections (DSIs) are a means of
indexing stress, surprise, or aggravation of dialogue participants.
I will offer a rough empirical characterisation of their antecedents
and force and sketch a formal analysis of their meaning and contextual
background in the dialogue framework KoS. For the semanticist they
raise interesting issues, providing more grist to the incremental semantics
mill, while ultimately requiring an integration of dialogue
dynamics with emotional appraisal.
