In the second passage, however, the word lexicographer seems to have a negative connotation, and a dictionary writer is compared unfavorably with a poet. This shift is likely because Johnson had to adjust his plan as he wrote his dictionary and thought that he had not met his lofty goals.
The positive connotation for noisy it think would be "participative".
The definition, according to Merriam-Webster is as follows:
Definition of participative<span>. : relating to or involving participation; especially : of, relating to, or being a style of management in which subordinates participate in decision making.</span>
<span><span><span>Asher is punished for confusing his words because precision of language is very important in the community.</span></span></span>
