Grammar Terms

0 00 I have been using this web site to help me with parts of speech. There are some terms I have never seen before and cannot find the definition of "downtone" in the dictionary. The terms are highlighted below. 01a05000 02a00 01font00 00 in 00 02font01h1

01font02font00Adverbs often function as intensifiers, conveying a greater or lesser emphasis to something. Intensifiers are said to have three different functions: they can 01u00emphasize,02u00 01u00amplify02u00, or 01u00downtone02u00.02h1

00 My questions are;02br
02br
001. Are these new terms used to explain intensifiers? 002. Are these terms American or British? 003. Has anyone heard of these terms before?02br
