“…One reason is the difficulty of testing morphopragmatic elements in formal psycholinguistic tests. Thus, we failed in testing pragmatic aspects of diminutives with aphasics, in contrast to semantic ones (Dressler et al 1996, Franceschet et al 2013. A second reason is that corpus-linguistic investigation of morphopragmatic elements requires very time-consuming manual control of contexts.…”

This chapter focuses on new perspectives and the recent history of pragmatic explanations in morphology, both on morphopragmatic issues where pragmatics is of primary importance, such as in diminutives, and where pragmatic interpretations are clearly secondary to semantic meanings as in most pragmatic aspects of inflectional morphology. The main categories dealt with are evaluatives, extragrammatical and grammatical reduplication, honorifics, but there is a survey of many others as well. The discussion also includes emotional, sociopragmatic and psycholinguistic argumentations (especially from language development). The outlook urges for more consideration of morphopragmatic issues in areas of cognitive science.
