    "abstract": "We show how the wide range in strengths of intensifying degree\nadverbs (e.g. very and extremely) could be explained by\npragmatic inference based on differing cost, rather than differing\nsemantics. This predicts a linear relationship between the\nmeaning of intensifiers and their length and log-frequency. We\ntest this prediction in two studies, using two different dependent\nmeasures, finding that higher cost does predict stronger\nmeanings. We discuss the implications for adverbial meaning\nand the more general question of how extensive non-arbitrary\nform-meaning association may be in language.",
