Le terme « village », peu utilisé, évoque plutôt l'ancien continent ou les pays du tiers-monde. Les populations des petites villes sont généralement appréciées pour les valeurs qu'elles incarnent: gentillesse, honnêteté, politesse, rapports de bon voisinage et patriotisme. Cependant, on peut aussi parler des « small-town attitudes » dans un sens péjoratif pour désigner une tendance aux préjugés et une certaine étroitesse d'esprit.* * *[smɔːl] 1. 2.(colloq) smalls plural noun GB euph petit linge m3.1) ( not big) gen petit; [increase, majority, proportion, quantity, amount, stake] faiblethe small matter of the £1,000 you owe me — iron la bagatelle de 1000 livres sterling que tu me dois iron
