Judgmental Words
Judgmental conversation reveals personal opinion and perception.
Word choice leans towards emotive rather than impersonal; it is vague
and generalized because the speaker tends to refer to previously held
beliefs instead of using evidence to support their argument.

Judgmental implies an inappropriate evaluation or critique of someone

or something. Qualitative words such as good, bad, worthwhile, or
worthless imply that you are sitting in judgment of someone or their
behavior.

Judgmental Words
Verbs of judging form a semantic field:
All of them can describe events of communication; potentially verbs of saying :
accuse, criticize, praise, scold, confess, apologize necessarily describe a
communicative act (not necessarily spoken).
Others can just relate to internal attitudes: blame, credit, justify, excuse.

Certain sets of roles, related in certain ways:

• Situation: state of affairs, prompting the judgement/act described
• Affected: impacted by the situation (or as part of it)
• Defendant: individual or entity potentially responsible
• Judge: attitude holder, communicator
• Addressee: individual at whom the potential communicative act is targeted

Sally works too hard. She needs to balance work and life.

If Jane were a real manager, she’d be great at work.

with others.

Last time he lied to me, so I'm sure he is lying now too.
