Abstract: This paper will focus on linguistic constructions involving intensional emotive predicates in order to assess the computational complexity of such constructions based on the features of intensional elements in such constructions. It will be first shown that linguistic constructions vary as a function of the nature of intensional elements involved in such constructions. The important insights derived from these facts will be then carried forward for an exploration of the computational complexity of intensional emotive constructions which can be seen to co-vary in complexity scales with the number of intensional elements or features of intensional elements. Possible ramifications emanating from this for the cognitive tractability of semantic contents and for natural language processing will be offered at the end of the paper.
