Summary/Abstract: Our contribution focuses on linguistic intensity as a means of expressing the author's subjectivity as well as a mark of her emotions. Intensity establishes a bridge to her ideal reader, who is asked to actively participate and perform in a personal way the marks of intensity that are scattered throughout her texts. This relationship with her interlocutors is essential to the style of Amélie Nothomb writing, that requires an uninterrupted and sincere exchange to find the foundations of her emotional truth, which remains the only one that counts.
