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!

We move from Dutch to French – Suzanne Lesage, Justine Salvatori (U Fribourg) present experimental evidence of of the Degree Expressed by Intensifiers in French-Speaking Switzerland. We’re excited to have an experimental view after many corpus-based talks!

For all linguists interested in stereotyping, generic language use and the language-media interface: our colleagues at the Brussels Institute for Journalism Studies will be hosting a conference on these topics in December.
Worth a visit also for the venue (the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren).
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
#dgfs2026
Day 3 of AG3 at #dgfs2026 - Mark Döring (U Hildesheim) & Laura Guse (U Frankfurt) take us to linguistic landscapes during the pandemic lockdowns: “Temporarily closed for 2 WEEKS!!” – Intensification on a typographical and textual level" and ask: Strategies or randomness?
