No, by definition. No idiom needed. Must I quote the definition of {pe= i} again?

"pei - CAI - emotion ? - attitudinal: attitudinal que= stion; how do you feel about it? with what intensity?"
=A0
In the case of {.iepei}, the "it" is "agreement": = {.iepei} =3D "how do you feel about agreement? with what intensity?&qu= ot; =3D "Do you agree, and=A0with what intensity do you (dis)agree?&qu= ot;
