Whether-exclamatives

Sara Amido & Sebastian Buchczyk

We propose a new category of exclamatives, whether-exclamatives, based on data from European Portuguese and Standard German. We argue that these seem to function as answers to polar questions only because they are coordinated structures in which the first conjunct is an (optionally) elided assertion that answers the preceding question.
