Sowaázh lects use discourse verbal affixes to reflect the speaker's attitude, degree of surprise, or other things; not using them may come across as clinical, stilted, or overly posh. High Sowaázh normally uses discourse affixes less often than do other Sowaázh lects, and uses "degree of surprise" affixes more frequently than attitudinal affixes. On average, female High Sowaázh speakers use attitudinal affixes more frequently than male speakers. | Sowaázh lects use discourse verbal affixes to reflect the speaker's attitude, degree of surprise, or other things; not using them may come across as clinical, stilted, or overly posh.
