Summary and perspectives --$tReferences 330 $aThat English has no diminutives is a common myth. The present study shows, however, that English does possess diminutives, and not only analytic but also synthetic diminutive markers. Analytic markers include, first and foremost, little, as well as other adjectives from the same word field, whereas the inventory of synthetic markers comprises suffixes as, for instance, -ie, -ette, -let, -kin, -een, -s, -er, -poo and -pegs. These markers are examined from a grammatical and a pragmatic perspective in an integrative formal-functional framework. The grammatical perspective involves phonological, morphological and semantic features, while the pragmatic perspective involves pragmalinguistic as well as sociopragmatic features on the levels of the speech act and larger interactive units in dialogue. The findings reveal that English diminutive suffixes are, in fact, among the most productive suffixes of the English language. While the suffixes share a number of features, each has developed its own profile, specifically regarding semantic and pragmatic features. In everyday conversation, there is a division of labour between the synthetic and the analytic type of formation concerning the communicative functions of diminutives and their distribution in discourse. The choice of formal device and its function depend crucially on pragmatic factors, notably on the illocution, the interactive status, the realisation strategy, and the politeness value of the utterances in which diminutives are employed, and also on the relationship between the interlocutors. 410 0$aLinguistische Arbeiten (Max Niemeyer Verlag) ;$v479. 606 $aEnglish language$xDiminutives 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiminutives. 676 $a425/.92 700 $aSchneider$b Klaus P$01034949 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463646703321 996 $aDiminutives in English$92473888 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01558nam 2200445I 450 001 9910711661003321 005 20181207121734.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002485451 035 $a(OCoLC)1078406100 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002485451 100 $a20181207j201811 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFatigue life of a NiCr-coated powder metallurgy disk superalloy after varied processing and exposures /$fTimothy P.
