  abstract  = {This paper analyses intensification in German digitally-mediated communication (DMC) using a corpus of YouTube comments written by young people (the NottDeuYTSch corpus). Research on intensification in written language has traditionally focused on two grammatical aspects: syntactic intensification, i.e. the use of particles and other lexical items and morphological intensification, i.e. the use of compounding. Using a wide variety og examples from the corpus, the paper identifies novel ways that have been used for intensification in DMC, and suggests a new taxonomy of classification for future analysis of intensification.},
