Reduplication - Doubling in Morphology

Informationen zum Autor Sharon Inkelas is Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics, University of California at Berkeley. Klappentext This groundbreaking study takes a novel approach to reduplication! a phenomenon whereby languages use repetition to create new words. Sharon Inkelas and Cheryl Zoll present a new model of reduplication--Morphological Doubling Theory --that derives the full range of reduplication patterns. This approach argues for a theoretical shift in phonology that entails more attention to word structure. Zusammenfassung This groundbreaking new study takes a novel approach to reduplication! a phenomenon whereby languages use repetition to create new words. As well as presenting the authors' pioneering work! it provides a much-needed overview of reduplication! the study of which has become one of the most contentious in modern phonological theory.
