This study of reduplication in Afrikaans provides a unified and
principled analysis of an unusual and highly complex word formation
process, shedding new light on the scope and content of various
fundamental lexicalist principles of word formation. Surprisingly,
Rudolf Botha concludes that the principles involved in Afrikaans
reduplication are not unique to Afrikaans, as has often been
thought, and are used by many other languages. Moreover, the
interpretation of Afrikaans reduplications depends on principles of
conceptual structure that are restricted neither to Afrikaans nor
to the interpretation of reduplications, thus supporting recent
work on cognition and meaning undertaken by Ray Jackendoff and
other scholars. In analysing the data, Professor Botha has also
provided a concrete illustration of how the Galilean style of
linguistic inquiry can fruitfully be applied in the study of word
formation and meaning. The study thus represents an important
theoretical and methodological advance which will be of as much
interest for its method of inquiry and argumentation as for the
fresh insights it provides for scholars and researchers in the
fields of morphology, word formation and semantics.
