Even in conversation with neutral semantics, listeners are capable of perceiving a speaker’s positive or pejorative attitude on the content of an utterance through voice and manner of speaking. The present study focuses on the analysis of such evaluative statements and investigates by which acoustic characteristics positive and negative evaluations are

The myth that Horace is a joyful poet—by contrast with Housnian—is widespread: “Horace thought of poets as serene and happy people,” we are told by Nisbet and Hubbard ([1], p. 303). In chapter one, I quoted the first stanza of “On Wenlock Edge” and noted that in it Housnian drew the image of the troubled wood in part from Horace’s Soracte ode (I, 9 ...

Pejoratives, Contexts and Presuppositions
2017Kaplan started a fruitful debate on the meaning of pejoratives. He suggests that a dimension of expressive meaning is required, separated from the straightforward “at issue” content.

This paper analyzes the patterns of pejoration-marking in Korean. The speaker’s pejorative attitude is realized as diverse morpho-syntactic devices (Koo 2004). The most common devices of pejoration-marking fall under the following six categories classified according to the semantics of the source lexemes and constructions: (i) topographical periphery, (
