9 Αυγ 2019 · A reduplicative is a word or lexeme (such as mama) that contains two identical or very similar parts. Words such as these are also called tautonyms . The morphological and phonological process of forming a compound word by repeating all or part of it is known as reduplication .
One way this is accomplished is through repeating a word (goody-goody), or adding another one that sounds very similar (palsy-walsy). This process may be referred to as reduplication; when the second word is a rhyme, rather than a repetition it is called a rhyming compound, or a reduplicative.
In linguistics, reduplication is a morphological process in which the root or the stem of a word (or part of it), or even the whole word, is repeated exactly or with a slight change.
23 Απρ 2008 · These are the words formed through reduplication, when you repeat a word to form a new one, or slightly change the vowel or consonant. These are inventive and musical words and there are hundreds of them in English. Also called ‘echo words’, there are three basic types of reduplicatives.
Reduplication in language is a morphological type that – through doubling a word, element, root, or stem – enhances, emphasizes, amplifies, enlarges, diminishes, adds number or changes verb tense –to bring about significant meaning changes or shades of meaning.
Reduplication in language is the joining of two words to make a short, usually hyphenated, phrase. This is done for emphasis – for example, ‘teensy’ means tiny, but ‘teensy-weensy‘ sounds tinier still. Reduplication might be rhyming, as in chick-flick, or ablaut (that is, using vowel substitution), as in the alliterative zig-zag.
Except for established words like passerby, these compounds are hyphenated (hanger-on, runner-up, listener-in, falling-out, goings-on, talking-to). There are also the two-word established forms consisting of a verb followed by an adverb or a preposition, which is styled open: set to, strike out.
