13.1.3.1.2 Focus fronting exclamatives

The label CP-EXL also identify sentences where a phrase containing an affective operator is moved to the left periphery. The movement is represented by the coindexation between the moved phrase and an A'-movement trace (*ICH*).

In the absence of an overt complementizer, the fronted phrase is annotated under IP-IND. As usual, in such cases, the preposed phrase is labeled -LFD and coindexed with an *ICH* trace only if it is moved from an embedded domain (see section Left dislocation):
