Searching for the linguistics term (if any) for a concept
Is there a linguistic term for sentences or phrases that intensify certainty at the end of a statement? Like "You don't want to do that. Trust me." or "That's unacceptable. Period." ("Statement-final certainty intensifier" sounded like the most likely candidate to me, but a search for it didn't return anything useful.)
