Projectomschrijving
This project aims to conduct a multifactorial analysis of diminutive expressions (e.g., little house, casita, little casa, housito) in bilingual communities in the U.S., such as Miami and El Paso. Through a comparative corpus study and experimental analysis, it examines the impact of intra-linguistic and extra-linguistic factors related to language contact on the formal and functional productivity of diminutives.
