The following types of intensifiers are analysed: очень, безмерно, крайне, невероятно, невыносимо, необыкновенно, несказанно, сильно, смертельно, страш¬но, ужасно, чертовски, чрезвычайно; bardzo, nieprawdopodobnie, niewiarygodnie, niezmier¬nie, niezwykle, ogromnie, okropnie, piekielnie, potwornie, straszliwie, strasznie, szalenie. They express the level of emotional intensity in a way that is above average. They refer to the emotional state named by an adjective or a participle, an adverb (predicative), or a verb. Most of them serve to intensify both positive and negative emotions.
