A detailed contrastive analysis of the Latvian morphologically derived diminutives and the morphological and analytical means of expressing equivalent connotations in English has been carried out for the first time. This output, analysed from the perspective of translation studies and based on contrasting linguistic (semantic and pragmatic) phenomena and translation practice, has resulted in a learning aid and support tool for translators – guidelines for rendering into English connotations of purposefully used diminutives in Latvian source texts.
