| summary | This paper provides the first documentation and analysis of expressive nouns in Ktunaxa, a severely endangered language isolate spoken in Interior British Columbia and the northwest United States. Ktunaxa expressives liberally allow non-speaker-oriented interpretations under attitude reports. This contrasts English expressives, which are usually speaker-oriented. Most accounts of English expressives treat their judge as contextually variable (e.g. Potts 2007, Schlenker 2007). I argue this analysis is better suited for Ktunaxa, and I suggest more rigid theory of expressives in English to account for their default orientation to the speaker. |
