  Reduplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reduplication, in linguistics, is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word, or only part of it, is repeated.
Reduplication is used both in inflections to convey a grammatical function, such as plurality, intensification, etc., and in lexical derivation to create new words.
Reduplication is often described phonologically in one of two different ways: either (1) as reduplicated segments (sequences of consonants/vowels) or (2) as reduplicated prosodic units (syllables or moras).

 Talk:Reduplication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lots of interesting semantic things happen in reduplication, and lots of word classes undergo the process; it would be good to mention all sorts of examples in the article, but one shouldn't ground the definition of the morphological process on this variation.
My understanding is that leipo, leloipa is a fairly obvious example of IE reduplication; the irregularity comes from the fact that it also exhibits vowel gradation in the past stem.
Lastly, reduplication in adjectives serves to emphasize the adjective.

 LINGUIST List 6.52: Reduplication
Summary on reduplication A month before Christmas (in LINGUIST Vol-5-1354) I sent out a query about *reduplication* and how this strategy is grammaticalized in languages to convey some facet of *intensification*.
Reduplication of adjectives indicates intensification or increase in the following way: temiz 'clean' tertemiz 'very clean' dolu 'full' dopdolu 'very full' bos 'empty' bosbos 'completely empty' Here we have prefixed reduplication accompanied with a binding consonant.
Furthermore, some common verbs take reduplication in their *present* tense; the initial consonant is reduplicated with the vowel 'i': di-do:-mi 'I give/am giving' gi-gno-mai 'I am becoming' ti-the:-mi 'I am placing' ((*thi-the:-mi) * In Latin, perfect forms may involve reduplication: curro 'run' cucurri perf.

 Reduplication   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This is known as reduplication, which we can define as “the doubling of a syllable, part of a word or a word, sometimes with modifications.” Maybe it won’t be too surprising to hear that something so familiar is very common in languages throughout the world.
Reduplication of a number means ‘no more than’ that amount.
Reduplication in a verb may mean the repetition of an action (‘think’ - R:‘think repeatedly’) or duration of a state (‘shine’ - R:‘continue shining’).

 Reduplication
Reduplication, the doubling or partial doubling of syllables and words, is very frequent in Hindi-Urdu.
Reduplication of non-finite verb forms may express repetition of action in itself (7) or continuous action that leads to a new state (8), (9):
In addition to the intensification and approximation, there is a third general function of reduplication: Repetition of a manner adverb or a numeral may be co-ordinated with a second reduplication (sometimes implicit) to express a correlation of degree (21), (22) or the distribution of some set x among the members of set y (23), (24):

 Echo-Word Redup List
Since babies themselves reduplicate extensively in learning to speak (Fee and Ingram, 1982; Ferguson, 1983; Schwartz et al., 1980), it is understandable why doubling and babies would come to be associated, and this association reflected in a variety of unrelated languages.
This grants the fivesense overlap with reduplication that we see here its significance, for it means that the overlap cannot be attributed to broad semantic coverage on the part of the diminutive.
Reduplication is also used grammatically to express lack of control in some Salish languages (Carlson and Thompson, 1982).

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
The process is called reduplication, which is the doubling of a syllable or other part of a word, sometimes with modifications.
In some Indo-European languages, such as Sanskrit and classical Greek, the reduplication of the initial consonant or syllable of a verb root was a method of forming verb tenses.
In English, reduplication tends to be onomatopoeic (tsk-tsk), or informal (hanky-panky).

 Reduplication
In his course "Six Problems in Phonology and Their Solution" at LSA 2005 Summer Institute at MIT, Morris Halle presented an analysis of reduplication that is remarkably similar to the approach taken in the Beesley and Karttunen chapter on Non-concatenative morphotactics.
It is obvious that Halle's analysis of Agta reduplication can be implemented in a finite-state system such as xfst that has a compile-replace function.
In xfst terms, what Halle's Readjustment rule needs to do is to wrap the string that will undergo reduplication in between a pair of brackets followed by the reduplication operator ^2.

I assume that the inclusion of the inflectional prefix in the reduplication is due to the extreme irregularity of this verb.

The main claim is that reduplication results from loops in the precedence structure of phonological representations.
Modular rule based analyses of overapplication and underapplication effects including backcopying are presented to argue against the McCarthy and Prince (1995) claim that a derivational model of reduplication is conceptually and empirically inadequate.
The aim of this book is to present, illustrate and defend a representational theory of reduplication.

 Amazon.com: Form and Meaning in Word Formation : A Study of Afrikaans Reduplication (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics): ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This study provides a unified analysis of reduplication, a highly complex word formation process, in Afrikaans.
Botha concludes that the reduplication principles at work in Afrikaans are not unique to that tongue and, in fact, that they are used by many other languages.
Furthermore, Botha shows that neither special conceptual structures nor even standard reduplication procedures are needed to interpret Afrikaans reduplication, thus supporting recent work in cognition by Ray Jackendoff and other scholars.

The question of reduplication refers to the operations involved in cogitional operation.

Or, are the operations localized on specific levels of cognition?

 Patterns in Kirundi reduplication
This paper offers a detailed analysis of reduplicative patterns in Kirundi.
In it, I show that what looks like simple OCP effects preventing the reduplicant and the base from being identical are due to the interaction of markedness and faithfulness constraints giving rise to what McCarthy and Prince (1994) call the emergence of the unmarked (TETU).
Moreover, in accounting for the non-identity of the base and reduplicant, I show that a ranking paradox occurs when applying McCarthy and Prince’s (1995) Full Model of reduplication to Kirundi reduplicated words.
