>>> DEGREE - DIMINUTIVE AND AUGMENTATIVE


DEGREE DIMINUTIVO & AUMENTATIVO

Em inglês, o diminutivo é formado pela colocação de adjetivos como small, little, tiny e minute antes dos substantivos. Exemplos small town, little boy, tiny fingers, minute writing, etc.

Muitas vezes encontramos substantivos próprios no diminutivo, para transmitir afeição. exemplos Little Richard, Little Suzy. (Observe que, neste caso, o adjetivo little é escrito com letra maiúscula.)

São muito poucos os substantivos cujo grau diminutivo é realmente formado por flexão, ou seja, pelo acréscimo de um sufixo -let / -kin são os mais conhecidos, como em booklet, leaflet, piglet, winglet, lambkin.

O aumentativo é formado apenas pela colocação de adjetivos como big, huge, great, enormous, large e massive (não existem sufixos para tal). Exemplos big house, huge amount, great redwoods, enormous effort, large trees, massive increase, etc.
