Comparing the "severity" of words of amount, degree, etc I'm looking for lists of words/phrases of degree, ordered by how strong they are relative to each other. For an example in English, I ran across this research recently: < I was wondering if there are any similar lists for: 1. Degree... etc 2. Amount... etc 3. Frequency... etc 4. Severity/strength... etc 5. Surety... etc By the way, I see a lot of questions about pairs of words on this list, i.e. "is this word more or less on the degree scale than this"... so if a good answer can be found that has a bunch of examples hierarchicalized, it might answer a lot of future questions all at once. :-)

> Degree... etc

**/**
As for the degree of temperature, we say like / for _it's hot a little_ / _it's cold a little_.

> Adverbs to describe the degeree of hotness/coldness are like:
> **** ≒ ≒ ≒ **** ≒ ≒ ≒ / **** ≒

Hierarchicalized adverbs written in the above list could be applied commonly to express the degree of amount, frequency, severity/strength and surety except for some adverbs. The typical exception is , that is used only in severity or in something like that.

Amount... ?(← obsolete word) **** etc
Frequency... etc
Severity/strength... ? ? etc
Surety... ? ? **** **** etc
