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