This article focuses on the so-called concealed exclamations in Spanish ( DP s semantically equivalent to indirect exclamative clauses). Its basic aim is to show how the type of noun affects four aspects of these structures: the presence/absence of the modifier of noun, the semantic type of the modifier, the identification of the referent whose characteristics exceed the speaker's expectations, and the presence/absence of the determiner. In order to tackle this task, we start from a notion of concealed exclamation different from the one used so far in Spanish grammar as well as from a typology of nouns.
