This groundbreaking new study takes a novel approach to
reduplication, a phenomenon whereby languages use repetition to
create new words. Sharon Inkelas and Cheryl Zoll argue that the
driving force in reduplication is identity at the morphosyntactic,
not the phonological level, and present a new model of
reduplication - Morphological Doubling Theory - that derives the
full range of reduplication patterns. This approach shifts the
focus away from the relatively small number of cases of
phonological overapplication and underapplication, which have
played a major role in earlier studies, to the larger class of
cases where base and reduplicant diverge phonologically. The
authors conclude by arguing for a theoretical shift in phonology,
which entails more attention to word structure. As well as
presenting the authors' pioneering work, this book also provides a
much-needed overview of reduplication, the study of which has
become one of the most contentious in modern phonological theory.
