Abstract
The article analyzes the use of stylistically marked lexical units and phrasemes in national variants of Spanish language of Costa Rica and Spain as one of the most common means of speech intensification. The article also raises issues of keywords inherent in the Costa Rican linguistic picture of the world which can be used for intensification of speech as well. The proposed methodology for analysis of lexical units allows structuring the expressive lexical and phraseological material for its further use in foreign language-Spanish dictionaries.
