The book delves into the use of intensifiers in Chinese learner English, highlighting how they convey varying levels of commitment in communication. By employing contrastive inter-language analysis, it compares these patterns with native English usage. Grounded in Firthian contextual theory and Sinclair's Extended Units of Meaning, this pioneering study systematically examines intensifier patterns through corpus data. Readers will gain insights into how Chinese learners utilize intensifiers to express their attitudes effectively.
