1 -emotional o emotive?-
Nota d'usoL'aggettivo emotional significa “emotivo” nel senso di “relativo alle emozioni”: his emotional needs, i suoi bisogni emotivi; a purely emotional response; una reazione assolutamente emotiva; to provide emotional support, fornire un sostegno emotivo. Detto di una persona, emotional significa che mostra apertamente i suoi sentimenti, che è “emotivo”. In riferimento a ciò che suscita emozione e forti sentimenti, invece, si usa l'aggettivo emotive: Sexual orientation is an emotive issue, l'orientamento sessuale è un argomento che suscita forti emozioni.
