The empirical study is done within the framework of Construction Grammar, Construction Morphology as depicted by Geert Booij (2010; 2013), and a Construction-Grammar-based approach to translation proposed by Izabela Szymańska (2011). On the basis of an exhaustive corpus of language material, the author proposes new schemas for English diminutives and related formations. Moreover, the work provides supporting evidence for the distinction of analytic A + N constructions as a valid type of diminutive formation in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piotr Stalmaszczyk,Dorota Gorzycka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631812515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631812518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"Piotr Stalmaszczyk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136984756479,"sku":"9783631812518","price":74.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b4b39e1-7e5a-4f5f-9964-8b4634c6bcba.jpg?v=1770165772","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diminutive-constructions-in-english-piotr-stalmaszczyk-9783631812518","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
