Abstract:

Most scholars define reduplication as a formally restricted grammatical
process, neatly distinguishing it from 'mere' repetition as a discoursal
option. However, there is a fuzzy grey area between the two processes that has
rarely been explored so far. In this timely collection, the phenomenon of
exact repetition, understood broadly as the systematic iteration of one and
the same linguistic item within relatively close syntactic proximity, is
investigated from a number of angles. The volume contains studies from
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and deals with a
broad range of languages, including alleged 'reduplication avoiders'. In
bringing together different theoretical perspectives, phenomenological
domains, and methodologies, and in linking the fields of syntax and discourse
to those of morphology and morphophonology, the volume provides new insights
into the structure and meaning of exact repetition phenomena, and, more
generally, into their status within a theory of language. The collection will
appeal to formally and functionally oriented scholars from all subfields of
linguistics, including typology.
