English Language & Usage Asked on April 13, 2021
Is there a specific word for this? I’ve looked for a bit, and have returned with the word sharp
I’m wondering if there is another word of this.
An example sentence would be
"Jane yelled back in a _____ voice."
I’m repeating both in the same paragraph, so I would like to reduce redundancy.
(edit: I forgot to add, loud. Loud voice expressing anger, frustration and impatience)
ow about strident? From Lexico:
strident: Loud and harsh; grating; ‘his voice had become increasingly sharp, almost strident’
Your example:
Jane yelled back in a strident voice.
Strident certainly captures loud prompted by anger, frustration, and impatience.
