LACONIC
- Saying little – these people like neither to talk nor to listen, they act as if the conversation is a bore
TACITURN
- Much talk, little sense
GARRULOUS
- When the words won’t come out of strong emotions – fear, rage, anger
INARTICULATE
- They talk, talk and talk – they phrase, rephrase using far more words than necessary
VERBOSE
- Unoriginal – everything they say is trite, hackneyed, commonplace, and humourless. Full of clichés and stereotypes
BANAL
- Words in quick succession – fluent , rapid talkers. Such copiousness, that you listen to them in amazement
VOLUBLE
- Words that convince – persuasively, brilliantly and draws wholehearted assent from an intelligent listener
COGENT
- The sound and the fury - They talk loud, noisy, clamorous, and vehement.
VOCIFEROUS
