Focusing on the comparative analysis of adjective use, this study reveals significant differences between native and non-native English speakers at Kansas State University. Non-native speakers demonstrate a higher rate of intensification but rely on a narrower range of adjectives and intensifiers. While native speakers favor precise, contextually-specific evaluative adjectives, non-native speakers tend to use more generic terms. Additionally, the research highlights distinct preferences in intensifiers, shedding light on the linguistic patterns of English learners in relation to native speakers.
