Exclamation

Definition

Used when: the source argument communicates a sudden or strong emotional reaction, such as surprise, excitement, or frustration. Volume and tone of the source argument, if accessible, may play critical roles in recognizing exclamation action.

These are mostly generated by the following grammar:

(oh|well|i mean|NIL) (gosh|goodness|boy|good grief|jeez|heavens|shoot|gee whiz)

Examples

(61) A: No no!
---
(61) -- Exclamation --> (61)

(619) Messenger: And Tidal Palace
(620) Pilot: K
(621) Messenger: Bronze gate
(622) Messenger: Howling Garden.
(623) Pilot: Oh my Gosh!
---
(623) -- Exclamation --> (619)

If previous slash unit can be identified as leading to the reaction, it can be used as the target argument. In this case, the Pilot reacts to an important tile being flooded in the game Forbidden Island.
