10.3. Direct and indirect negativity markers (sample 1)

10.3.1. Negative lexis and phraseology

(14) Sample (1) (i) I'm sick of hearing or seeing him - always pontificating. (ii)

He's the Mayor of London not the Lord Mayor of the City of London.

(iii)

He was (stupidly) voted in by the people of London not the square mile.

(iv)

His priorities should be improving the tube and transport network. Its a scandal that we pay the most for the worst service. Each year it gets more expensive but the service never improves.

(v)

He has no vision. Visionaries are in Paris and Berlin.

(vi)

A sentence that encapsulates the infantilism and stone cold ignorance of many British politicians, particularly those Oxbridge un-educated.
