Digital platforms are increasingly organised around practices of reacting. Across platforms, reactions are shaped by affordances and emic labels, from low-threshold uptake such as likes, comments, quotes, reposts, or stitches to elaborate audiovisual formats such as live responses and reaction videos. At this end of the spectrum, reception becomes a "vernacular form of visual production" (Kim 2016: 333): prior content is watched, paused, felt, discussed, and repackaged before an audience. Positi

One of the central goals of syntactic typology is to reduce complex linguistic phenomena鈥攁nd the often fine-grained variation they exhibit across languages鈥攖o a set of simpler underlying mechanisms. This enterprise involves deriving a wide range of syntactic constructions from constrained sets of features or other syntactic primitives that can combine in different constellations across languages.

Scalar focus particles (ScalFocPs) like 鈥榚ven鈥 and 鈥榦nly鈥 have played a central role in alternative semantics and related fields ever since their development (Jacobs 1983, Rooth 1985, 1992). Their syntax and semantics have been at the center of much recent work on languages other than commonly studied varieties of English (cf. Hole 2013, Sun 2020 on Vietnamese; Quek & Hirsch 2017 on Singaporean English; Hole 2017, 2023, Wimmer 2020, 2022, Yuan 2024 on Chinese; Yip 2024, 2026 on Cantonese, Vietna
