Abstract
This paper discusses the style value of diminutive nouns in Ivo Andrić’s short stories between 1925 and 1941. Andrić’s style is characterised by the absence of expressives, although one notices a number of diminutive nouns the writer commonly utilized in nominal function. While the use of some diminutives achieves a certain stylistic and poetic function — it also reveals subtext and more accurately represents the psychology of his characters, in particular the psychological conditions and characteristics of the main character. Furthermore, this paper indicates the reactions and actions of the characters and describes their interior.
