Abstract This study focuses on nominal pluralization in Sign Language of the Netherlands (NGT). The aim is to offer a comprehensive description processes language, based both corpus data and elicited data, taking into account potential phonological restrictions. results reveal that NGT nouns can undergo several processes, main ones being simple reduplication (i.e., repeating noun sign at one lo...

Previous studies on the meaning of reduplication have proposed plausible accounts of the relatedness among various senses associated with it. The iconicity principle is often acclaimed as the motivation behind this process. However, reduplication can be associated with senses such as intensification and attenuation that are inconsistent with each other. The latter even seriously challenges the ...

A frequently noted property of reduplication is that the reduplicant is generally a contiguous substring of the base (e.g. Marantz 1982; McCarthy and Prince 1986, 1995; Lamontagne 1996). For example, Lamontagne (1996) identifies [[ABC]R[ABCDE...]B] as a 'typical reduplication pattern', and [[ACD]R[ABCDE...]B] as 'atypical'. In optimality theory, this property is enforced by the "no skipping" cl...

Supernumerary centrosomes promote the assembly of abnormal mitotic spindles in many human tumors. In human cells, overexpression of the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)2 partner cyclin A during a prolonged S phase produces extra centrosomes, called centrosome reduplication. Cdk2 activity protects the Mps1 protein kinase from proteasome-mediated degradation, and we demonstrate here that Mps1 mediat...

This paper aims at describing Javanese reduplication system with focus of attention on forms, functions, and grammatical meanings. By using data extracted from text books ones my own creation whose grammaticalty acceptability are previously tested several native speakers, through distributional method its various technical analysis, the research found that can be classified into least four ling...

This paper investigates reduplication in Kodi, an under-documented and understudied language spoken Sumba Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province, eastern Indonesia. Reduplication Kodi shows various patterns that fall under two major types: full partial reduplication. Full mostly involves of the entire disyllabic base. In reduplication, salient are copied initial parts (a syllable a foot), interna...
