Summary / Abstract:
ENThe acquisition of diminutives starts very early. Rūta uses a big quantity of diminutives from the very beginning. Diminutive suffixes are the first morphemes which the child starts to use. A very close parallel between the mother’s and Rūta's use of diminutives was discovered. Rūta's data confirmed that simplicia and diminutives were used interchangeably without any noticeable semantic difference. The primary meaning of diminutives used in the child and input speech is pragmatic, especially endeannent, love and other warm feelings.
