This corpus study investigates intensification strategies in Spanish: it documents the morphological and lexical variation of intensifiers and shows how sociolinguistic factors linked to age, gender and context influence their use. It also analyzes recent evolutions of the phenomenon among young millennials and GenZ individuals, highlighting, among other things, the role of upper-middle-class girls in the spread of expressive intensifiers.
