The grammar of expressivity / - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2019. - 1 online resource (xx, 287 pages) : illustrations 2918 pages;

Based on case studies of expressive adjectives, intensifiers, and vocatives, it offers a new analysis of expressivity that bridges the gap between semantic and syntactic accounts, and shows that expressivity is a syntactic feature and not a purely semantic phenomenon
