mirativity

[George Elgin, Suzette Haden Elgin]

I've been watching the "mirativity" discussion with great interest. I am
wondering whether there is a specific category that is restricted only to
positive -- pleasant -- surprise. (As I would have expected, from the
"admirative" source.)

While I'm here -- though on the topic of pleasantness rather than surprise
-- I know of languages that have a pejorative morpheme. (Navajo, for
example.) Could anyone tell me whether there's a language that has a
morpheme with the opposite function (whatever the term for
"anti-pejorative" might be)?

Thanks....
