<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Mon-Khmer languages of the Austro-Asiatic
phylum have a lot of reduplication. My M.A. thesis (referenced below) focused
on the phonological reduplication in ideophones, but also covered morphological
and syntactic reduplication. There are ten kinds of morphological
reduplication. The syntactic reduplication is also described in the Lingua
article.</font>

>Yes, I believe reduplication is a feature of Austronesian languages.
But <br>

<br>
>Although in Papua New Guinea (where I used to work) Papuan and <br>

<br>

<br>
>Even so, I am not aware of another language like Amele that uses <br>
