Small-scale comments on Uralic and other evaluatives

The present article takes another look at the Mansi diminutive ‑riś~‑rəś, considers why there has been some unclarity surrounding the status of this element in many grammars of Mansi, takes note of some recent (and not so recent) literature on the diminutive in general, reflects on some ensuing implications for the description of the diminutive in Mansi, as well as on some Uralic (and Ewen) implications for Daniel Jurafsky’s universal structure for the semantics of the diminutive, and finally has a brief look at augmentatives in Uralic and Ewen.
