laudatory
Significado: Expressing praise and commendation. Used to describe speeches, reviews, or comments that are warmly approving.
Laudatory is a formal adjective found in literary criticism, obituaries, and book reviews. It often collocates with 'terms,' 'review,' 'remarks,' 'speech,' and 'tone.' Unlike 'complimentary,' which is everyday, laudatory suggests elevated, public praise. It is occasionally used with a hint of scepticism — 'excessively laudatory' implies the praise may be undeserved or sycophantic.
