Chapter Pragmatic aspects of the vocative-nominative competition in addressative function across Slavic languages
The study tests the hypothesis according to which the Slavic anthroponyms in -e
and -o underwent evolution from vocative endings to hypocoristic derivative suffixes and then
to anthroponymic formants. According to the Author, such a hypothesis can be considered
entirely plausible, albeit only as a mechanism of formation parallel to and intertwined with
other processes of morphemic function change
