The document examines the use of intensifiers in speech from the Shetland Islands corpus. It analyzes intensifier use by internal factors like age and gender of speakers, and external factors like the type of adjective being intensified and grammatical predication. The main findings are that female speakers use intensifiers more than males, younger speakers favor "really" while older speakers use "awful" and "very", and "so" is used more with emotional adjectives than other frequent intensifiers.
