Intensification plays a major role in spoken and written
interaction, enabling the writer or speaker to express different
levels of commitment. This book explores the patterns and meanings
of intensifiers in Chinese learner English by ways of comparison
with native English. The study is conducted within the theoretical
framework of Firthian contextual theory of meaning, Sinclairian
model of Extended Units of Meaning (EUM) and Hunston's pattern
grammar. The method of contrastive inter-language analysis (CIA) is
adopted and the intensifier collocations in learner English and
native English are explored by means of quantitative and
qualitative analyses of corpora data. This book is the first
attempt to investigate the patterning and meaning features of
intensifiers systematically with the corpora data in Chinese
learner English. Readers will obtain a relatively complete picture
of how Chinese learners use intensifiers to realize their
attitudinal meanings.
