Description: This project examines longitudinal change in the use of adverbial intensifiers (e.g. C'était très cool 'It was very cool') in spoken Hexagonal French (i.e. the French of continental France). Taking a quantitative sociolinguistic approach, I consider examples of intensifiers in a database (the ESLO) comprising two corpora of spoken French: one from around 1970 and the other from 2010. In tracking the trajectory of both grammatical and sociolinguistic change in the intensifier system of spoken French over this forty-year period, I compare intensifier usage in French to previous claims about intensifiers in previous (mostly Anglocentric) variationist studies.
