emphasizer - a word that gives Emphasis - Information from Reference.com, like 'really', 'truly', 'absolutely', 'utterly'...

downtoner - a word that tones another word down (Tone down - English Phrasal Verb - UsingEnglish.com ), like 'quite' (with gradable adjectives), 'fairly', 'to some extent', 'in a sense'.... (If in doubt, look for a phrasal verb )
