revised Qualitative intensifiers e.g. とても, とっても, 超, etc. How are they different?
Replaced "glottal stop" with "geminated" to avoid confusion

Removed でかい from title and added reason why I thought でかい was an intensifier.

From the anime Aria the Animation, the character Alice frequently uses でかい as an intensifier in the ungrammatical way as in "でかい煩い".

since でかい is not an intensifier, i suppose the following would be possible: "とてもでかい". And "でかい煩い" would be "large noise" instead of "very noisy"(which would be "とても煩い" instead).

Is there a greater logic governing に that reconciles its use for marking targets and location?

I was in fact referring to the 99%. I guess that for the "wrong" choice, it would still make sense, except not in a way relevant to most situations. E.g. 図書館に読む would mean "I read to the library" (In the same way as "mother reads to her children") right?

so does it mean that for all of the above, ONLY one of them (に or で) can be correct, and under NO circumstances the alternative would make any sense?

could you direct me to some resources where i can read about に+て? And could you explain what "predication" means? I have no issues with using grammatical terms as long as I am able to access sufficient learning aids.

so the choice between に and で is dependent on how logically-related the location and the verb are? If the verb naturally relates to the location (as in the case of ホテルに泊まる), に should be used. And if it doesn't, で is used. Pardon my rudeness but from what experience do you base this analysis on? I need to assess the reliability of information since i'm learning from various sources.

So if i ask a question "どこに泣いている", would the answer "部屋で" be correct?
