TONGIEN POLYNÉSIEN NUCLÉAIRE What are intensifiers? König & Gast 2006

(i) Intensifiers are basically operators denoting an identity function. (ii) All intensifiers are generally focused and evoke specific types of alternatives (‘alone’); or provide alternative descriptions of the same event token to which the sentence refers (‘too, also’). (iii)Intensifiers trigger certain types of presuppositions. IntensifiersIntensifiers usesuses KönigKönig and and SiemundSiemund (2000) (2000)
