    La intensificación en los cuentos populares occitanos.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Esher, Louise
    This study offers an initial exploration of the intensi!cation strategies attested in a written corpus of 162 Occitan folktales (north-east and south-west Lengadocian varieties). Although, overall, the pool of available resources corresponds to ordinary Occitan usage, the deployment of the strategies also re"ects the particular conditions surrounding the storytelling and (cultural) transmission of folktales. Intensi!cation is used to strengthen both the audience’s immersion in the narrative, and the cultural and social cohesion of the community in which the stories are told.
