<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">I'm wondering if anyone knows of any (cross-ling or for specific languages) work on this type of construction where a noun/phrase can be fully reduplicated for a superlative function or other meanings such as an especially remarkable or exaggerated instance of something. For ex in Chini (Lower Sepik-Ramu, PNG) anggunu 'mosquito' vs anggunu anggunu '(place known for) especially bad mosquitoes'. Or as in English 'man's man', 'deal of deals'.</div>
