Reduplication

[ROOD DAVID S]

Pat Shaw's dissertation is a good start at describing Lak.
reduplication,but a more recent version is Trudi Patterson's work.  Jack
Chambers was putting together a description of this for a seminar a couple
of months ago; I suspect he's not on the list, so maybe an email to him
would be in order.

In Lak. redup. not only means repetitive/distributive, but is also the
only way to mark plural for inanimate arguments for stative verbs; given
that useage, it's pretty high frequency.
