Andreas Trotzke is Außerplanmäßiger Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Konstanz. His areas of expertise include pragmatics, the syntax-pragmatics interface, psycholinguistics, and language education, and his research has been published in journals such as Journal of Pragmatics, Frontiers in Psychology, Journal of Linguistics, Linguistics, and Lingua. He is the General Editor of the journal Pedagogical Linguistics (Benjamins), the editor of numerous volumes, and the author of three monographs, of which the most recent is The Grammar of Emphasis: From Information Structure to the Expressive Dimension (de Gruyter, 2017).Xavier Villalba is Associate Professor of Catalan Linguistics and member of the Centre de Lingüística Teòrica at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. His research interests include the interface between syntax and information structure, particularly right-dislocation, and between syntax and semantics/pragmatics, especially exclamative and existential sentences. His work has appeared in journals such as Discourse Processes, Journal of Pragmatics, and Lingua, and in edited volumes from Routledge, Benjamins, and de Gruyter.

This volume offers cutting-edge research on the structural coding of expressive meaning. The eleven chapters plus introduction convincingly show that emotion finds expression on the syntactic, morphological, and prosodic level. Different theoretical frameworks, ranging from generative to functional and usage-based, support the challenge of discovering the often subtle expressive meaning-form relations in various languages (Romance, Germanic, Japanese).
