|
An augmentative (abbreviated AUG) is a morphological form of a word which expresses greater intensity, often in size but also in other attributes. It is the opposite of a diminutive. * Since overaugmenting something often makes it grotesque, in some languages augmentatives are used primarily for comical effect or as pejoratives. * Many languages have augmentatives for nouns; some have augmentatives for verbs. |
