Examples
Proper use of emotive conjugation provides words that are synonymous in their factual definitions, but different in their emotional connotation. While most examples are in triads, emotive conjugation can be used with a single subject.
Examples of emotive conjugation include:
I am sparkling; you are unusually talkative; he is drunk.
I know my own mind; you like things to be just so; they have to have everything their way.
I am a freedom fighter, you are a rebel, and he is a terrorist.
I am righteously indignant, you are annoyed, he is making a fuss over nothing.
I have reconsidered the matter, you have changed your mind, he has gone back on his word.
