Productive reduplication in a fundamentally monosyllabic language.
The question to be addressed in this paper is how a language which is fundamentally monosyllabic in structure can have about a dozen different reduplication types with at least eight different linguistic functions. The language under discussion, American Sign Language (ASL), is one representative of a class of languages that makes widespread use of reduplication for lexical and morphological pu...

Productivity-the hallmark of linguistic competence-is typically attributed to algebraic rules that support broad generalizations. Past research on spoken language has documented such generalizations in both adults and infants. But whether algebraic rules form part of the linguistic competence of signers remains unknown. To address this question, here we gauge the generalization afforded by Amer...
متن کاملFinite State Solutions For Reduplication In Kinyarwanda Language
Reduplication, the remaining problem in computational morphology is a morphological process that involves copying the base form wholly or partially. Reduplication can also be classified as either bounded or unbounded reduplication. Some solutions have been proposed for bounded reduplication. Some of the proposed solutions use ordered replace rules while others use simultaneous two-level rules. ...
متن کاملFour Types of Reduplication in the Cha’palaa Language of Ecuador
The Cha’palaa language of northwestern Ecuador is characterized by the relatively high functional load it places on reduplication; it applies a variety of distinct types of reduplication across different word classes and construction types. This paper describes four major types of reduplication in Cha’palaa: full and partial repetition of ideophones (not a fully grammaticalized reduplication ty...
