Stilistika loeng
There are those affixes that are negative, indicating the absence of some quality, they are
very expressive (e.g. "motherless / fatherless" are more expressive than "orphan"). Their
expressiveness is based on the fact that negation shows that ties between elements are possible
yet do not exist. The romantic writers tend to bring together adjectives with these affixes and the
text becomes very emotional (e.g. "He was unmoved, unshaken, unterrifyed." sounds more
emotional than: "He was calm and brave.")
Diminutive suffixes either express the small size or add a positive, humorous and
sometimes a contemptuous colouring:
-let- (e.g. starlet, chicklet, etc.)
-kin- (e.g. lambkin, etc.)
-ling- (e.g. weakling, etc.)
-ette- (e.g. kitchenette, etc.)
-y / ie-(e.g. daddy, etc.)
