And now the final talk of the AG, very much looking forward to Angélica Prediger (U Heidelberg) taking us to America with her talk on intensity particles in German as a minority language there!

Druk druk druk? Als je het echt druk hebt zeg je dat niet drie keer! Next up is @nordemuriel.bsky.social (HU Berlin) on three as the new two: Dutch retriplication and discusses whether this is intensification or downtoning

This special slot (no CxG-pun intended) goes to Daniela Elsner (PH Vorarlberg) on German [N+weise]-derivations as intensification, as in tonnenweise – This will take us to yet another closely related concept, comparison, and its relations with intensification.

Now we're back for the one and only @stefanhartmann.bsky.social presenting rese-arch on arch- from a contrastive perspective (Dutch, German, English): "The archbishop’s archevil archenemy: Contrastive perspectives on the emergence of an intensifying prefix" - with extra cat pictures!

Our last exciting talk before the lunch break goes back to the morphological domain: Katrin Hein-Antonioli (IDS Mannheim) examines augmentative word formation patterns, e.g. Bilderbuchfußballergattinnen (the compounding <3) or Vorzegige-Softies as an intensification strategy.

We move from non-canonical patterns of adjective intensification to intensification of physical symptoms in doctor-patient communication. Anna Kutscher, Adian Mussa, Mariya Hristova & Ralf Vogel (U Bielefeld) tell us about what makes an Anfall, an Ausbruck or an Attacke.

Third talk today, Jakob Maché (U Lisboa) & Vesela Simeonova (U Graz) getting rude: Their talk is on intensifying insults with expressive uses of pronouns such as in Du Trottel du! – rude much? Comes with a content warning but takes a descriptive view 😉

What has become clear is that the concept of intensification is very tricky to differentiate from e.g. expressivity (lots of work on that), but also from emphasis and quantification - comes up again and again in regard to many different case studies!

Next up is Nina Böbel (HHU Düsseldorf), presenting a CxG- and Frame-based view on intensification. Is this a constructional family? Her case study is on NP_brutal, krank_ADJ or Mords-N. Mordsinteressant!

Also I think our workshop is doing very well in terms of the bingo

Today’s programme in AG3 is 🔥 – We are starting with Marius Bartsch (U Bielefeld), who is presenting a corpus study of nominal augmentatives like Höllen- as in Höllengelächter (lit. ‘hell laughter’, tremendous laughter) in German. Are these creative or lexicalized?

The #DGfS2026 was warmly received by mayor of Trier in a very special location tonight! The old Roman Thermen am Viehmarkt is an interesting and impressive place, and even better when mingling with linguists like @lingucat.bsky.social

Historical site with remains of a roman bath house, a glass building on top of it, resting on tall concrete columns
I'm pretty sure other people took way more impressive pictures than me of the wonderful reception location of #dgfs2026 in Trier. But look at it! Wow!

The nice weather (surprising after the heavy fog this morning!) has made the presentations more intense, too, as it was quite hard to see the slides of the presenters until we figured out how to lower the blinds. 🔅😎

The last talk of today touches a different topic, Niklas Reinken (U Leipzig) is presenting two corpus studies on "Between graphetics and typography: strategies of intensification in handwriting and print" - very cool to have handwriting featured here as well!

Can you be intensely impolite? Vesela Simeonova (U Graz) is next and talks about intensifying evidentials and how reduplication can be an impoliteness strategy.

Whoops, slight delay due to technical issues, but we continue now with Roeland Van Hout (U Radboud), Nathanael Philipp (SAW Leipzig), Michael Richter (U Leipzig) on "Intensifying Intensifiers: Variations in Expressivity", combining different measures from inormation theory - very cool!

I'm very excited for a few days of genre/register fun at AG 9 of #DGfS2026 in Trier. Today, it's time to absorb and process theoretical and applied approaches and studies looking at examples from a lovely set of languages (🇸🇪🇩🇪🇬🇧🇫🇷) and text types (such as transcribed life stories).

Now Eric Engel (U Cologne) will present a really cool longitudinal case study on "Graphemic means of intensification in French personal blogs".
The 20-10-format always has too little time for discussions :( But only three talks in and already so much food for thought. Awesome!
