Abstract

The excellent first part of the Morphological Atlas of the Dutch Dialects (MAND 2005) discusses the formation of diminutives in Dutch dialects, taking diminutives of bases ending on 'vowel, diphtong or glide' as a point of reference, 'after which the diminutive suffix can develop freely and most naturally.' Based on data from central southern and southwestern dialects, this article presents a more precise account, in which bases ending on a monophtong are contrasted with bases ending on diphtongs and glides.
