Meeting Description:

This thematic workshop has a twofold purpose: (i) to focus on the expression of
extreme quantity, i.e. very small and/or very large quantities. This is a particularly rich field
of observation for studies in phraseology, as well as for examining the links between
quantification and intensification, quantification and argumentation, intensification and
expressivity; (ii) to encourage a contrastive and/or diachronic approach, keeping in mind that
the expression of quantification, at the levels of the noun phrase and the verb phrase,
functions in very different ways in different languages and at different times.
