The aim of the paper is to draw a typological sketch of Sardinian evaluative morphology. At first, the issue is addressed from a theoretical point of view, in order to establish what does the label ‘evaluative’ really mean and which evaluative constructions are actually attested in Sardinian. Then a list of the more frequent properties of evaluative suffixes are drawn and the properties of Sardinian diminutives are described in detail. Later on, the development of the Sardinian diminutive suffixes in the historical perspective is described. In the last two paragraphs I consider the position of Sardinian on a wider cross-linguistic perspective, firstly in relation to the other Romance languages, then within the Mediterranean area.

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to draw a typological sketch of Sardinian evaluative morphology. At first, the issue is addressed from a theoretical point of view, in order to establish what does the label ‘evaluative’ really mean and which evaluative constructions are actually attested in Sardinian. Then a list of the more frequent properties of evaluative suffixes are drawn and the properties of Sardinian diminutives are described in detail. Later on, the development of the Sardinian diminutive suffixes in the historical perspective is described. In the last two paragraphs I consider the position of Sardinian on a wider cross-linguistic perspective, firstly in relation to the other Romance languages, then within the Mediterranean area.
