Subject:  Diminutives that aren't

Does anyone know of examples of forms in any language that
are normally considered morphologically-marked diminutives,
but actually refer to entities that are big for their type?  I would
be especially interested in names of animals, and in examples
from Indo-European languages, but examples of any kind will
be welcome.

Please respond directly to me, Paul S. Cohen
[pausyl at aol.com].  I will post a summary to the List.

Does anyone out there know if there is summer school/program
offered in the States or Europe teaching psycholinguistics at the postgraduate
level?
