Abstract:

This book is the first collective volume specifically devoted to the
multifaceted phenomenon of intensification, which has been traditionally
regarded as related to the expression of degree, scaling a quality downwards
or upwards. In spite of the large amount of studies on intensifiers, there is
still a need for the characterization of intensification as a distinct
functional category in the domain of modification. The eighteen papers of the
volume contribute to this aim with a new approach (mainly corpus-based). They
focus on intensification from different perspectives (both synchronic and
diachronic) and theoretical frameworks, concern ancient languages (Hittite,
Greek, Latin) and modern languages (mainly Italian, German, English,
Kiswahili), and involve different levels of analysis. They also identify and
examine different types of intensifiers, applied to different forms and
structures, such as adverbs, adjectives, evaluative affixes, discourse
markers, reduplication, exclamative clauses, coordination, prosodic elements,
and shed light on issues which have not been extensively studied so far.
