When does a day have more than 24 hours? When is a party not just a party? What’s wrong with wearing black at a wedding? All of these questions are based on real conversations, and the answer lies in the ways we can mark something out as extraordinary or intense. In this talk, we’ll look at how people manipulate aspects of the production of speech (as in: “that’s soooooo funny”), and what sort of response intensified talk is expected to get.
