Description

This book deals with expressions like English myself, yourself, himself and so on, and German selbst from a perspective of language comparison.

It is the first book-length study of intensifiers ever written.

The study investigates the syntax and semantics of these expressions and provides a thorough account of a much neglected grammatical domain.

Given that the approach is both descriptive and analytic, the book will be of interest to linguists, grammar writers and teachers of English and German alike.
