Remarks on Goran diminutives (upon vocabular material)

Summary/Abstract: In this article I am focusing on an issue of a word structure of Goran nominal diminutive formations. This analysis is based on a linguistic material excerpted from a Goran-Albanian dictionary by Nazif Dokle Reçnik goranski (nashinski) – allbanski, Peçatnica Naukini Akademiji “Prof. Marin Drinov”, Sofia 2007. In reference to conducted analysis it may be concluded, that Goran nominal diminutives are formed through suffixal derivation, eg. dim > dimec. Goran nominal diminutives are formed by adding of 7 suffixes: -ec (dukat > dukatec), -ica (baklava > baklavica), -ce (dërvo > dërvce), -ence (içaje > içajence), -içe (dërpulka > dërpulkiçe), -çe (çader > çaderçe), -e (çujek > çujeçe). Suffixes -çe and -içe are the most productive diminutive formatives in the Nashen (nashinski) language and the range of their derivation is very wide. Formatives -çe and -içe, that derivate diminutives from feminine and masculine nouns, cause a change of a grammar gender of the derivative in comparision to its base word. In this respect Goran diminutives represent clear similarity to Bulgarian and Macedonian diminutives.
