Summary/Abstract: The paper emphasizes some fundamental features of my PhD dissertation on “The Contrastive Analysis of the Diminutives in the German and Bulgarian Languages”, where diminutive nouns are mentioned. The aim of this study is to trace some basic generalizations regarding the semantic category diminution. The analysis goes as comparison between the both languages, where special attention is focused on the basic phonological, word formation and grammar features, which are characteristic for the formation and the use of diminutives in the above mentioned languages. Special emphasize of this study is pointed towards the functional use of diminutives in the selection of original literary texts and on the transfer of diminution in their translations.
