In my kinda town each person has his/ her own say. The backbone of the society consists of people of different ages and views having common sense and capacity to listen and make the right decisions. Twice a month there are meetings where everybody can go and contribute their votes. So far there have been no problems. Citizens agree, disagree, argue but not sheepish and are always active in the most positive sense and able to achieve decisions accepted for everyone. Economy: Since the world's best businessmen live in this society, there are constant investments from their side for the town to function properly. It is balanced. Many of the world-renowned wines come
Expressiveness of word-building Words may become expressive due to their more morphological structure. Together with the adjectives, this suffix may produce words e.g brown-brownish, that denote a small degree of some quality. Also the suffix may form tactful words that are not found in dictionaries, if the speaker doesn't wish sound too categorical. E.g the lecture was dullish, she came lateish. With nouns +-ish, we get adjectives with a negative contemptuous colouring e.g childish, sheepish. This negative is even stronger with compounds e.g honeymoonish (exception: boyish, girlish do not have any negative connotation). When ish is added to proper names, it adds an uncomplementary colouring e.g mark twainish characters (-ish +proper name) At the same time, with proper names we may have the suffix ian e.g Dickensian characters, Shakesperian characters. Suffix s with names has poor connotation and belongs to refine style. E.g Dante -> Dantesque, Turneresque, picturesque.
NUMERALS: on the whole numerals are not expressive but become emphatic when used in exaggeration or hyperbole or when used independently standing for a person (metonymy) (e.g. "You are a beautiful 20."). 5. EXPRESSIVENESS ON THE LEVEL OF WORD BUILDING (WB) Words may acquire expressiveness due to their structure. Affixation: suffix ish- with the adjective stem denotes a small degree of some quality (e.g. brownish). Together with nouns ish forms adjectives that are negative: doggish, sheepish, childish, etc. The negative colouring is even greater with compound stems (e.g. honeymoonish, etc.). Exception: the words "boyish" and "girlish" do not have negative evaluation. Suffixes may be added to proper names. The suffix ish- adds a negative colouring. The suffixes ien and ean render the name as lofty (e.g. Shakespearean); suffix esque- possesses positive connotation. The main noun forming suffixes that render negative evaluation are: -ard- (e.g
Words may acquire expressiveness due to their structure. Affixation: suffix ish- with the adjective stem the suffix denotes a small degree of some quality (e.g. brownish). Another function is to coin tactful words that are often nonce words because the speaker does not wish to sound too categorically (e.g. dull dullish; big biggish; late lateish; etc.). Together with nouns ish forms adjectives that are negative: doggish, sheepish, childish, etc. The negative colouring is even greater with compound stems (e.g. honeymoonish, come-hetherish, etc.). Exception: the words "boyish" and "girlish" do not have negative evaluation. Suffixes may be added to proper names. The suffix ish- adds a negative colouring (e.g. if the speaker has no respect for Dickens he can use suffix ish- to show it, so he can say "dickensish"). The suffixes ien and ean render the name as lofty (e.g
"Hello there," he said. He seemed to know who I was, which put me in the awkward position of pretending I wasn't clueless as to who he was. "Hello." He laughed, and the sound was light and charming. "I'm Christopher Vidal, Gideon's brother." "Oh, of course." My face heated. I couldn't believe I'd been so lost in my own pity party that I hadn't made the connection at once. "You're blushing." "I'm sorry." I offered a sheepish smile. "Not sure how to say I read an article about you without sounding awkward." He laughed. "I'm flattered you remembered it. Just don't tell me it was in Page Six." The gossip column was notorious for getting the goods on New York celebrities and socialites. "No," I said quickly. "Rolling Stone, maybe?" "I can live with that." He extended his arm to me. "Would you like to dance?"
embarrassed. "You look really pretty, by the way," he added shyly. "Um, thanks. So why did Billy pay you to come here?" I asked quickly, though I knew the answer. Jacob didn't seem grateful for the subject change; he looked away, uncomfortable again. "He said it was a 'safe' place to talk to you. I swear the old man is losing his mind." I joined in his laughter weakly. "Anyway, he said that if I told you something, he would get me that master cylinder I need," he confessed with a sheepish grin. "Tell me, then. I want you to get your car finished." I grinned back. At least Jacob didn't believe any of this. It made the situation a bit easier. Against the wall, Edward was watching my face, his own face expressionless. I saw a sophomore in a pink dress eyeing him with timid speculation, but he didn't seem to be aware of her. Jacob looked away again, ashamed. "Don't get mad, okay?" "There's no way I'll be mad at you, Jacob," I assured him. "I won't even be mad at Billy. Just say
