In this short note, I highlight my agreement with Wiltschko’s (2024) main claim that emotions are not represented in grammar by dedicated categories. My own work on both exclamatives and mirativity points to the same conclusion. However, I indicate some data concerning the left periphery of the clause that so far remain unaccounted for in Wiltschko’s framework and potentially might pose a challenge.
