  Introduction
  
  The category of Intensity and means of its expression with the help of language means is the subject of great interest for most modern linguists. Nowadays there are a lot of scientific works devoted to the category of intensity and its various representations including the main means – the degrees of comparison of adjectives. Nevertheless, this category cannot be called fully and thoroughly investigated in the modern linguistics. This can be proved by other synonymic categories, disputable terms and absence of a strict scheme of intensity expression.
  Consequently, the topicality of the present research is stipulated, firstly, by the great interest of modern scientists to the problem of intensity, secondly, by insufficient study of this problem in the modern science.
  The object of the research is the category of intensity in the English language.

  Chapter 1. Category of Intensity in Modern Linguistics
  1.1. The Notion of Intensity
  
  The term “intensity” is used in Russian and foreign linguistics in order to nominate the process of intensification (or strengthening) of some features of language items. But it must be mentioned that nowadays there is not any unique and monosemous definition of this notion. More over, the term “intensity” is often seen as equal to the terms “expressiveness”, “emotionality”, and “evaluativity”.
  The notion of the term “intensity” is also disputable because many researchers doubt if it is possible to distinguish an independent language category of intensity due to its similarity with the above mentioned language categories.
  The term “intensity” has Latin roots (intensio – strengthening, pressure). As a general term it is understood in lexicographical resources of the English language in the following ways:
  1) firstly, as the quality of being intense (the pain grew in intensity);
  2) secondly, as the measurable amount of a property, such as force, brightness, or a magnetic field (hydrothermal processes of low intensity) [14].
  In linguistic aspect the term “intensity” can be also viewed differently.
  The Russian researcher G.I. Radchenko defines intensity as a measure of expressivity, degree of emotionality and its expression in the language (for example, the quantitative characteristics of an object) [7, p.8].
