Subject: Reduplication 
 

Hello,
I am currently looking into the cause of reduplication in examples of the
following type:

1) pick-er upp-er

2) bag-ou-ig-ou 'little boats'Breton boat-PL-diminutive-PL

The above are distinguishable from reduplication like

3) father shmather (c.f. Nevins and Vaux 2003, Nevins and Fitzpatrick ms.)

in that the reduplicants in (1) and (2)do not seem to be (part of) the
realization of additional morphology - they add nothing to the meaning of
the construction.

I would appreciate greatly being pointed to any other examples of
reduplication with these properties, or sources that discuss them.  I will
post a summary of all responses.

thanks and best,
Heather Newell

Dear Sirs,

I am writing a thesis on Polish 'czasowniki z?o?one'(compound verbs) in
comparison with phrasal verbs in English. I am keenly interested in the
views on word formation of phrasal verbs in English and 'czasowników
z?o?onych' in Polish.  Do English phrasal verbs differ from Polish
'czasowników z?o?onych' in terms of meaning and form, or iny any other aspects?

Could you help me with possible bibliography, internet links and particular
hints that would facilitate my work? I would appreciate it very much.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Iwona Kaczor
