Hi everybody,
What's differnce between "hypocorism" and "clipping"?
Since "Yule" put hypocorism in backformation category, I see no change of the forms in the given words there. For example, while "television" being reduced to "telly", its form remains without change. And I simply compare it to the "clipping" term as we subtract the word into another without form modification. For instance, setting "Add" in place of "advertisement".
Can you please help me out?
