Emphasizing adjectives are modifiers which, unlike prototypical or central

adjectives, do not describe a property of the head noun, but which convey

strong speaker feelings toward the entity referred to. Examples sheer madness or whole acres of land. The refer not only to the head noun but the phrase and infer a feeling of the speaker which makes them more than just descriptors of the noun, but descriptors of the speaker. Also they can't be intensified in anyway like very sheer madness or very whole acres of land, both of these don't make sense.
