Introduction to Adverbs of Degree and Social Issues
In recent years, the debate surrounding climate change has gained unprecedented attention. Advocates emphasise the urgent need for action, often using adverbs of degree such as 'extremely', 'highly', and 'deeply' to convey the seriousness of the issue. Conversely, some sceptics dismiss the concerns as exaggerated, minimising the impact of these problems through words like 'slightly' and 'mildly'. The choice of adverb can significantly influence public perception and emotional response to social issues.
