As "reduplication" is a continuously discussed topic in the field
of linguistic typology and morphology there is still the need to
reach a deeper understanding of reduplicative processes. This
volume aims to explore the boundaries of reduplication proper from
an outside angle, i.e. by looking into non-prototypical cases which
challenge the formal and functional criteria for reduplication
proper. The articles selected cover various linguistic areals from
Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe. Abbi explores echo formations
and reduplicative expressives in Southeast Asia. Anderson presents
an in-depth study on various reduplication phenomena in the Munda
language family. Nintemann addresses a formal problem of
reduplication proper in Bantu languages. Finkbeiner discusses a
case of triplication in German, contrasting it with the framework
of reduplication. Kallergi & Konstantinidou provide an detailed
insight into several kinds of echo formations in Modern Greek,
including diachronic aspects. Rozhanskiy's focus is on unexpected
reduplicative patterns found in the formation of Komi ideophones.
Stolz delivers a thorough crosslinguistic investigation on
reduplicative phenomena, favouring the canonical approach over the
prototype method.
