Empty adjectives

Yeah if you like.

Would you link it to another adjective type? Or would empty be sufficient?

You studying language and gender?

IMO terrible is a subjective adjective, not empty.

For it to be empty it has to have no further meaning to the sentence Eg. 'In the dark night'. Dark is empty, we know at night it is already dark.

Just English language, but theory comes into it, especially if you can apply it to a transcript accurately. I'm analysing a transcript at the moment between a couple so I can apply some of Lakoff's theory to it in places

Doing the same myself, haha! Good luck.

Oh cool! Do you do child language acquisition too?
