A Lexico-Cognitive Study of the Forms of Intensification in Arabic Within the Framework of Gradeability by Force

Abstract

The present paper deals with gradeability by force in reference to intensification. Gradeability represents a different semantic relationship in which the graduated entity can raise the volume of attitude up/down or in-between.  The study aims to unearth how the linguistic phenomenon of gradeability works in Arabic. There is a detailed description of the grammatical, morphological, and lexical features of intensification. The study tackles the linguistic phenomenon of intensification at the classical level demonstrating the writer-reader relationship. In Conclusion, getting familiar with the forms of gradeability enables the speaker to have different attitudinal positions instead of the state of dichotomy.

Keywords: Force, Grammar, Morphology, attitudinal positioning, emphasizers, gradeability, intensification, particles
