Dissertation Abstract:

Research purpose: to reveal  typological differences and  similarities
between reduplicative units in Belarusian, Russian and English by
identifying peculiarities of their structure, functions and rendering.  

Research methods: comparative and contrastive analysis, Veitch – Karnaugh
map method, derivational analysis as well as some elements of  set-theory 
analysis, statistical analysis and componential method.  

Research results  and their  significance.  The  performed  comprehensive
analysis  is the first known comparison of Belarusian  reduplicative
formations with those in  Russian and English. The author  compiles
reduplicative corpora of three languages, explores phono-morphological
features  of  full,  ablaut and rhymed reduplicative words and word forms,
identifies derivational models  of universal reduplicative  formations and
classifies them into thematic groups. The author also estimates  the 
probability density of reduplicative units, reveals their stylistic
functions, describes ways and methods of translating  reduplicative words
and word forms, devises a  translation algorithm as well as compiles a
trilingual dictionary of core  modern English reduplicative  vocabulary 
with its cross-linguistic correspondences in Russian and Belarusian. 

Recommendations  for  applying research  results. Theoretical and practical
outcomes of this research can be used in typological studies of
reduplication, textbooks  and handbooks  on contrastive linguistics,
word-formation, lexicology, stylistics, translation and interpretation  as
well as coursebooks dedicated to speech and written practice of the
Belarusian, Russian and English languages. Reduplicative corpora can be
used while compiling translation and defining dictionaries as well as
utilized  in educational processes  (while preparing lectures, special
academic courses and producing term papers and final-year projects). 

Field of application:  comparative typology,  contrastive linguistics, 
word-formation, comparative lexicology,   lexicography,  stylistics,
translation  studies and language education.
