I'm looking for a list of German intensifers. Intensifiers are words which tell you to what extent things are true. For example, a noise could be "very" loud or "quite" loud. I want to use them in my existing sentiment polarity system. I know of similar lists in English but I cannot find any in German unfortunately. Does anyone know of any such resources?
A good list of English intensifiers I felt was this one: (Appendix 1)

if its only about the lists, you can bootstrap them quickly by looking at distributionally similar words and have them classified by a German native.
E.g. use the JoBimText API to produce this:

Thank you very much Prof. Biemann. I did exactly the same thing in the end. With the help of a native German speaker, I have now built a list of 139 ranked intensifiers (both amplifying and down-toning), which I will use for my task.
Tahir, would it be possible to upload your list here on RG as a data set? Peers would appreciate this, maybe even acknowledge in the end.
