    Lexikalisierung und Neutralisierung von Diminutivformen im Polnischen und Tschechischen, verglichen mit dem Deutschen. Ein translatorisches Problem?
    (Technická univerzita v Liberci, Česká republika, 2017-01-01) Rytel-Schwarz, Danuta
    In Polish language, as well as in Czech and German, diminutives are a highly productive category of wordbuilding. Polish and Czech, however, make much more use of these means than German. The numerous differences between the three neighbored languages – in this case: features that are characteristic for the application of diminutive forms in Polish, Czech and German – have aroused not only through processes of lexicalization and neutralization. In many cases we have to deal with so-called ʻlexis without an equivalentʼ (realia). In Contrastive Linguistics, diminutives can be analyzed from various aspects. The shown analysis leads to the conclusion that typological, semantic, pragmatic and lexicographic approaches should be equally regarded. It is an urgent desideratum of research to take into account to a far greater extent diminutive lexemes than has been the case up to now.
