Abstract
This thesis presents the semantic properties of diminutives in Portuguese by comparing them to their translation equivalents in English. It displays the polysemy of Portuguese diminutives and diminutives in general, and categorizes them according to their meaning. The data used for the analysis were taken from two contemporary Portuguese novels and their English translations. The exemplified diminutives are divided into categories according to their meaning; primary meaning – smallness, affectionate, pejorative, intensifiers, attenuation and pragmatic use.
