本研究探讨形容词纯的强调用法，如纯的天堂，纯的肆无忌惮的地狱，这提高了语义规格的以下名词性描述。在密切分析的基础上的共时性和历时性的数据，有人认为，今天的特点强调纯是两个不同的，但相互加强的发展道路的结果。强调pure首先在pure + noun的句法环境中作为情感名词的主观增强词出现，随后扩展到其他搭配集合。语境中强调使用，例如在纯粹精神中，似乎是这一过程中的一个促进因素。在pure和形容词+名词的模式中，强调用法仅在晚期现代英语中出现，这是pure被另一个形容词进行语境调节的结果，是动词移位和主观化的结果（Adamson 2000）。这两条路径由共同的搭配集合（如情感名词）联系在一起。
This study deals with the emphasizing use of adjective pure, as in pure heaven, pure unbridled hell, which heightens the semantic specifications of the following nominal description. On the basis of close analysis of synchronic and diachronic data, it is argued that the peculiarities of Present-day emphasizer pure are the result of two distinct but mutually reinforcing paths of development. Emphasizing pure first appeared as a subjective heightener of emotion nouns in the syntactic environment pure + noun, in which it subsequently spread to other collocational sets. The contextual emphasizing use, e.g. in pure spirit, seems to have been a facilitating factor in this process. In the pattern pure and adjective + noun, the emphasizing use cropped up only at the end of Late Modern English as the result of leftward movement and subjectification (Adamson 2000), enabled by contextual modulation of pure by the other adjective. These two paths were linked by shared collocational sets such as the emotion nouns.
