Augmentative, pejorative, diminutive and endearing heads in the extended nominal projection
Year: 2015
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: In this paper evidence will be provided that augmentative, pejorative, diminutive and endearing morphemes are rigidly ordered with respect to one another, pointing to the existence of correspondingly ordered functional heads in the extended nominal projection. The evidence will primarily come from the relative order of the augmentative, pejorative, diminutive and endearing suffixes of Italian, but also from the order of the corresponding bound and unbound morphemes of other languages.
