LS III Debating, Homework for Week 7

The dates for the exam will be July 10th and August 9th. Sign-up sheets for 15-min. slots with your partner will be posted on my door as of Tuesday next week. Make sure to let me know as soon as possible if neither of these dates will work for you.

Have a look at the following nouns ending with the suffix "-ist". Look up their adjectival forms and jot down whether they take an -ic or -ical ending and/or can remain -ist in the adjectival form (think of the adjectives modifying words like "beliefs/remarks/statements"):

hedonist, egotist, nihilist, futurist, chauvinist, linguist, extremist, moralist, opportunist, capitalist, atheist, journalist

Do some of the quizzes featured under "vocabulary collocation" on this website (those of you with smartphones might want to test the app advertised): http://www.esl-lounge.com/student/vocabulary-advanced-2.php
