(1997) has led to a similar analysis of Nakanai reduplication in the context of his dissertation 1 on languages with multiple reduplication patterns.

0. Introduction In this paper I argue that the nature of apparent haplology in Manam foot redupli-cation supports two claims: (1) a. Stems of the type ¡ ¢ £ ¢ £ , ending in two identical syllables, are underlyingly a shorter stem (i.e. /rago/) with lexicalized reduplication of a syllable. b. Words with multiple reduplication are analyzed with a single set of correspondence indices, so that more...

This paper discusses the use of classifiers and reduplication in Cantonese. I propose a unified account for the syntax-semantics of both nouns and verbs, based on two functional layers: individuation and quantification. I demonstrate an abstract semantics that handles the interaction between classifiers and reduplication without reference to syntactic categories. Quantification (reduplication) ...

In this study I present a comparative and historical analysis of ‘‘frequentative’’ Bantu verb-stem reduplication, many of whose variants have been described for a number of Eastern and Southern Bantu languages. While some languages have full-stem compounding, where the stem consists of the verb root plus any and all suffixes, others restrict the reduplicant to two syllables. Two questions are a...

A framework is proposed for the detection of reduplication in digital videos of American Sign Language (ASL). In ASL, reduplication is used for a variety of linguistic purposes, including overt marking of plurality on nouns, aspectual inflection on verbs, and nominalization of verbal forms. Reduplication involves the repetition, often partial, of the articulation of a sign. In this paper, the a...

McCarthy& Prince () outline a theory of reduplication in which segments in the reduplicant stand in correspondence with segments in the base. Discontiguous partial reduplication patterns, in which a string of segments in the reduplicant corresponds with a discontiguous string of segments in the base, have been observed in various languages in the Austronesian and Austroasiatic language fami...

The aim of this paper is to investigate verbal stem reduplication in several Tupi-Guarani languages. The study reports mostly on Emerillon, for which the author collected field data in French Guiana, but also on other TupiGuarani languages: Wayampi of French Guiana (Grenand 1980, 1989; Ganozzi, p.c.), Tupinamba (Rodrigues A. 1953), Kamaiura (Seki 2000), Brazilian Wayampi (Jensen 1989), Anambé (...

This paper investigates reduplication in Indonesian. In particular, we focus on verb reduplication that has the agentive voice affix meN, exhibiting a homorganic nasal. We outline the recent changes we have made to the implementation of our Indonesian grammar, and the motivation for such changes. There are two main issues that we deal with in our implementation: how we account for the morphopho...
