    L' expression de l’extrême. Formes et fonctions de l’intensité dans Manon Lescaut.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Catena, Àngels
    : Based on the extraordinary profusion of marks of intensity in L’histoire de Manon Lescaut et du chevalier des Grieux, we will analyse the different communicative functions of intensi!cation in Prévost’s novel based on its inscription in a speci!c discursive context, so as to end the relationship between such linguistic operation and several, more speci!c narrative strategies. Thus, it will be examined the relationship with the register of the pathetic that crosses the XVIII century literary genres, as well as the semantic-pragmatic values of the intensive consecutive construction and the effects of “genericity” noted by Adam (2011) in relation to other discursive genres. To conclude, it will be analysed the intensi!cation strategies in the novel, destined to capture the interest of the reader and to generate humorous situations.
