Abstract AR
يتناول البحث الحالي أشكال التصغير في اللغتين الانكليزية و العربية من حيث الشكل و العملية الصرفية و أقسام الكلام التي تشلها.
كما يلقي البحث بعض الضوء على المعاني المختلفة لهذه الأشكال في كلتا اللغتين.
و ينتهي البحث إلى أن اللغتين متشابهتان إلى حد ما من حيث أقسام الكلام و المعنى و لكنهما مختلفتان اختلافا كبيرا من حيث العملية الصرفية.
فالانكليزية تعتمد على الإلحاق أساسا ثم الاسبقا بينما تعتمد العربية كليا على الأحشاء و الذي يتم طبقا لقواعد ثابته تحددها البنية الصرفية للكلمة المراد تصغيرها.
Abstract EN
The present research studies the diminutive forms in English and Arabic as far as form, morphological process and parts of speech are concerned.
Further, it sheds some light on the meanings of these forms in English and Arabic.
It has been found that the two languages are similar to some extent with regard to the parts of speech and meanings of these forms.
However, they are drastically different concerning the morphological process involved.
English basically uses suffixation and prefixation while Arabic depends entirely on infixation where some strict patterns that are essentially determined by the morphology of the words to be diminuted are followed.
