Преувеличение
The emphasizing function is mostly performed by degree adverbs (e.g. how,
so, too, extremely, terribly, awfully, very etc.) often used in set formulae of politeness to intensify, say, the expression of gratitude or sympathy, refusals or apologies which - reduced to mere thank you or sorry - would sound rude – I’m so sorry..
Some degree adverbs like just, really, fully, completely etc. or stylistically coloured verbs (e.g.: love, hate, die) or adjectives (e.g.: super, great, smashing, horrible, awful, stupid etc.) could be regarded as intensifiers when they lose their direct meaning and their function is merely to exaggerate, e.g. I fully agree with you. That may sound a stupid question.
