Diminutive constructions in English provides an analysis of form and meaning of English diminutives with selected suffixes and suffix combinations let ling ette er s kin s and ie kin s. The empirical study is done within the framework of Construction Grammar Construction Morphology as depicted by Geert Booij 2010 2013 and a ConstructionGrammarbased approach to translation proposed by Izabela Szymanska 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.
