	Naming in the Kashmiri Pandit Community
		The hypocoristic forms are determined on a deferential scale based on considerations of age, superiority, sex and the attitude one has toward the addressee.
		These forms may thus be used to indicate the formal use of the name especially in the written style; to mark informal relationships; to express a difference in age and deference toward age; and to mark the sex and the marital status of a person.
		The main considerations are the addressor/addresse relationship; the attitude of the addressor toward the addressee at the time the speech act takes place; the clues marking affection, anger, or indifference; the age and status of the addressor and addressee and their respective positions in the family and society.

		This is where the interpla y between harmony and hypocoristics becomes complicated: there are hypocoristic forms cited by both Ezeanya and Okoh which the formant chu without what is apparantly its liscensing morph kwu..
		It is wort h noting here that Praise actually had different intuitions with regard to the grammaticality of the form chude: She considered it ungrammatical, and was surprised that it was cited as such in Ezeanya.
		Some of these Praise hardly considered hypocoristics: anOsike for kanOsike, she explained differed only in the presence of kà, a highly grammaticalized morpheme whos meaning was so abs tract she had difficulty summing it up in a single word.

	Diminutive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		English diminutives tend to be shorter and more colloquial than the basic form of the word, diminutives formed by adding affixes in other languages are often longer and not necessarily colloquial.
		Diminutives are often used for affection (see nickname and hypocoristic).
		In many languages the meaning of diminution can be translated "tiny" or "wee" and diminutives are used a lot when speaking to small children; adult people sometimes use diminutives when they express extreme tenderness and intimacy by behaving and talking like children (for example in sexual situations).

	IULA (UPF) - Third Mediterranean Meeting on Morphology
		First, I will review the types of evidence that have been used by the researchers above to argue for and against the morphemic status of root consonants and show that it is consistent with the view that the consonantal root is a property of the output, not of the underlying input.
		Thus, a careful review of the evidence in the literature shows a compatibility with the view that the consonantal root is a property of the output, not of the underlying input.
		This suggests that hypocoristic formation is an output-to-output word formation process based on the full name that nonetheless references the consonantal root.

		Furthermore, not using customary hypocoristics will sound formal, stilted or unnatural: once I have established with a mechanically gifted friend that I know enough about a carburettor to call it a carbie, it would be inconsistent to use the full form carburettor.
		Hypocoristics are a creative and open-ended part of the morphology of Australian English.
		Hypocoristics are found in all Englishes, especially in personal names.

		There is an issue as to whether this set of consonants constitutes a single natural class characterized by a distinctive feature or features, or whether the set of consonants involves two or three different natural classes and so can't really be expressed uniquely by distinctive features.
		In answering this problem, you should describe how the hypocoristic is formed from the full name, but you don't need to characterize the consonants that avoid participating in the hypocoristic with the distinctive features.

		In the course of this study, a corpus of Russian hypocoristics (nicknames) was developed.
		In hypocoristic formation, however, atemplatic truncation occurs without accompanying affixation, and affects a large number of submorphs.
		For cluster simplification, the distinction between cluster simplification in onsets and codas is elaborated, and the differences between templatic and atemplatic hypocoristics are explored.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		I actually have wanted to use hypocoristic on a number of occasions, the way I do in my daily speech, but usually manage to remember to replace it with "nickname" or something like that.
		As an adjective, it means 'endearing, as a pet name or a diminutive'; as a noun, 'a hypocoristic form; a pet name or a diminutive'.
		The word hypocoristic is ultimately from Greek, from a verb meaning 'to call by endearing names', from hypo- +korizesthai 'to caress', from a word for 'a boy' or 'a girl' and the precursor of our -ize suffix.

	Terms of endearment
		Terms of endearment are called hypocoristic (in French hypocoristique), from the Greek upokore, kore meaning child, and the verb korizo, to pamper.
		Note that the grammatical gender of the term of endearment often does not match that of the person addressed.
		There is an infinite number of hypocoristic terms: anybody can either invent a new word or attribute a new affectionate meaning to a word.

		The second suggested surname origin could be a feminine hypocoristic form of the given Yiddish name, Shejne (Sheyne), meaning beautiful.
		A hypocoristic form is colloquial or an intimate form derived from the base (full) form of a given name such as Bobby for Robert.
		One suggested explanation for this metronymic origin (derived from a woman's name) are found by analyzing the economic and social structure of the 19th century Russian-Jewish community.

		To these are to be added a few hypocoristic names: Jake (twice), Hankin, Henecoc (from John), Gilot (twice, from William), Boydin, Baudechoun (from Baldwin), Gateron (from Walter, perhaps a Frenchman), Colin (from Nicholas).
		There are further a few hypocoristic names: Guillot, found thrice, Hankyn and Janin (from John), Maikin (from Matthew), Notekyn (of doubful formation), Perkin (Petrekyn), Boydo, Donus (perhaps from Drogo, Drew), all found once each.
		It is probable that some among these surnames were inherited names, not directly patronymic, but many were very likely derived from the father or mother of the bearer in 1319.

		This talk is about the sources of so-called economy effects of structure avoidance (“shorter is better”).
		In phonology, examples of economy effects include truncation (psychology--> psych), hypocoristic formation (Christopher--> Chris), and syncope (e.g., deletion of the second underlying vowel in “chocolate” and “opera”).
		I investigate the hypothesis that linguistic principles are non-nihilistic: they compare real linguistic structures to each other on structural well-formedness but they never prefer the absence of structure to any other structure.

		It is on the one side His chief Messianic designation of His followers : it is on the other side the chief of His hypocoristic designations of them.
		In calling them ' little ones' (ol fUKpol) He applies to them the hypocoristic by way of eminence,—so pure a hypocoristic that the very substantive is lacking, and nothing persists but the bare endearing diminutive.
		There is combined, therefore, in this designation the expression of our Lord's deep-reaching tenderness for His disciples and the declaration of His protecting care over them as ' the remnant of Jacob.' The ordinary suggestions of the meaning of the phrase as applied to the disciples may doubtless be neglected as artificial.

	What's in a Name? - FARMS JBMS
		This means that the name was shortened in antiquity as a form of endearment (something like saying "Jackie" instead of "Jacquelyn").
		At the same time, such hypocoristic endings commonly stood for the name of a deity in a drastically shortened form, most often a single final consonant, usually the letter aleph but also sometimes the letter hE, as the Bar Kokhba letter has it.
		The significance of the name Alma becomes clear from its use as an epithet (a term used to characterize a person or thing) in one of the myth texts from Ugarit.

		The size restrictions of early production in Japanese therefore seem to reflect the universal effects of Foot Binarity, which can be satisfied disjointedly either at the syllable or mora level, rather than that of the languagespecific foot structure in Japanese.

		(There's no do'vide, ne'y(a)khe, me'y(e)re, o'sh(e)re, no'kheme, mikhle [for males, at least].) Here's an alternative hypothesis: there seems to be a preponderance of male hypocoristics* in litvish Yiddish with -ke (meyerke, neyakhke etc. etc.).
