👉 INTENSIVIERE D1 LIFE 👈 Neue Veröffentlichung zur #Intensivierung in der digitalen Kommunikation - Deutsche Sprache 1/25 dsdigital.de/ce/x1f621-x1...
In diesem Artikel wird eine Typologie zur Intensivierung in der deutschen digitalen Kommunikation vorgeschlagen. Intensivierung wird üblicherweise als lexikogrammatischer Prozess verstanden, der die Qualität eines Elements in einem Satz modifiziert – entweder verstärkt oder verringert – durch die Verwendung eines anderen Elements, das als Intensivierer bezeichnet wird. DMC bietet eine breite Palette an Intensivierungsstrategien, die an einigen Stellen das traditionelle Verständnis des Konzepts und sogar über eine grammatikalische Kategorisierung hinausgehen. Anhand von authentischen DMC-Daten aus dem NottDeuYTSch-Korpus wird in diesem Kapitel die Intensivierung in fünf Kategorien eingeteilt: morphologisch, syntaktisch, iterativ, graphemisch und typographisch; und es werden Belege untersucht, die mehrere Aspekte der Intensivierung enthalten. Die in diesem Kapitel vorgestellte Typologie der Intensivierung zeigt die kreative Nutzung digitaler Ressourcen von Jugendlichen und wie diese Intensivierer auf den verschiedenen Ebenen zur sprachlichen und kommunikativen Gestaltung einsetzen.

The article proposes a typology of intensification in German DMC. Intensification has been conventionally understood as a lexicogrammatical process modifying the quality of an element in a sentence – either amplifying or diminishing it – through the use of another element known as an intensifier. However, developments within DMC have seen intensification strategies progress beyond a traditional understanding of the concept and beyond grammatical categorisation. Using authentic data from the NottDeuYTSch corpus, the article classifies intensification in five categories: morphological, syntactic, iterative, graphemic, and typographical, and explores elements containing multiple aspects of intensification. The typology of intensification presented in this article showcases the creative usage of digital resources and how this can influence our understanding of traditional linguistic concepts.
