<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would tend to agree with Johanna that most or
all of the
cases of reduplicated nouns cited by Liz involve distributivity. <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Cross-linguistically,
reduplication is the
most widespread strategy for marking the distributive-share in a
relationship
of distributivity.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
most common case
is that in which reduplication marking the distributive-share
occurs on
numerals (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wals.info/chapter/54">https://wals.info/chapter/54</a>); however, in some
languages, the
construction generalizes from numerals to other word classes,
including verbs,
adjectives, and — as in the examples cited by Liz — also nouns.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, in the Hebrew</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(1)<span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>hem
arzu
mizvada-mizvada</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>3PLM
pack.PST.3PL
DISTR~suitcase</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>'They
packed one suitcase at a time'</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the activity of packing is conceived as
mereologically plural,
denoting a set of packing sub-activities, each of which is
associated with a
single suitcase.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Thus, the
packing is
the distributive key, and the suitcase its distributive share. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For distributivity to obtain, there must be a
plural distributive
key; otherwise it is blocked.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>(This
is
why you can't say *Mary ate three apples each.)<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>In many cases, as in (1) above, the plural distributive key
is verbal,
giving rise to pluractionality.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>But
the
semantics of distributivity is more complex, involving a binary
relationship
between two items, the distributive key, which may or may not be a
pluractional
verb, and the distributive share — which is often marked by
reduplication.</p>

Dear Liz, dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">the Hungarian suffix -nként is known by the name
"distributive", and so is the Estonian derivational suffix -ti
(and its Finnish cognate -ttain/-ttäin). These adverb suffixes
in Uralic are sometimes borderline cases between case inflection
and derivation, and Jussi Ylikoski has discussed this Estonian
"dwarf case" in a few articles, see e.g. <a
href="http://jultika.oulu.fi/files/nbnfi-fe202002125279.pdf"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" moz-do-not-send="true">http://jultika.oulu.fi/files/nbnfi-fe202002125279.pdf</a>
.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Perhaps it's just because I have been socialized
with a different terminology, but I don't see these suffixes as
primarily expressing "pluractionality" or "increment" or
"increase". In my view, the point is "division" rather than
"addition". The typical context for these adverbs is not
"something increases for every X" but rather "there is one Y for
each X", "Y is divided between all the X's".</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am working on compiling a list of
lexical items (words, affixes, or constructions) that
take a noun and produce an adverb that expresses a
frequency, rate, or tempo. Examples include:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">- English -ly as in "daily", "monthly"
(which seems to be limited to a small set of time
expressions in the relevant usage; *He gave a playly
breakdown of the game.)</div>
<div class="">- The English "X-by-X" construction, as in
"day by day", "brick by brick" (instances of which
have been described as "pluractional adverbials")</div>
<div class="">- Hungarian -nként as in "naponként"
'daily', "hektaronként" 'by hectare"</div>
<div class="">- Reduplicated nouns in Hebrew as in "yom
yom" 'day [by] day', or "mizvada mizvada 'suitcase
[by] suitcase' (Gil 1995)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What I'm looking for could be described as
"items that create pluractional adverbials when
combined with a noun", where the noun specifies some
increment at which the event type in question takes
place. Googling "pluractional adverbials" does not
produce a lot of results outside of English, so I
wonder if there is a better term to search by.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">(Pluractionality markers that go on verbs
and reduplicated numerals would not fit the
description, but a lot of reduplicated nouns probably
would.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any and all leads would be most
appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
