Abstract
The aim of this article is twofold: In the first place, I would like to point out some of the problems left unsolved by Haverkamp-Lubbers and Kooij (H-L & K) in their 1971 phonological analysis of the Dutch diminutive, and indeed, as far as I know, left unsolved by any preceding or following treatments of the diminutive problem. In the course of the discussion, it should become clear that these solution-resistant anomalies are a result, not of faulty analysis on the part of the authors in question, but of the system which they use, namely that of standard generative phonology.
