Reduplication in Nigerian English

Description

Download Reduplication in Nigerian English. Modern Europeans Languages and Linguistics students who are writing their projects can get this material to aid their research work.

Abstract

This research work is concerned with reduplication in Nigerian English from the speeches and  utterances  of some  students  in  the  Department  of Modern European Languages and Linguistics, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto.

The  study  shows  that  reduplication  occurs  to signify contrastive meaning, pluralism, emphasis and creation of new words with different semantic forms.

Reduplication was therefore further discovered to be one of the features of Nigerian English.

Introduction

Reduplication  is  a morphological  process   in which   the  root   of a word or a part of it is  repeated. In many  languages, reduplication  is  used in inflections to convey grammatical functions and in lexical derivations to create semantic functions .

Kachru (1982) noted that the reduplication of items belongs to various  word  classes. For  instance, some  English  words  are   often   reduplicated   or   repeated consecutively, either for emphasis, pluralisation or to create  new meanings.

Bobda (1994) identified three categories of words which generally  undergo the  process  of reduplication; numerals, intensifiers  and quantifiers.

Reduplication  is an  important  phenomenon  in language  studies. Its attributes have long been studied  in terms  of various  formalist theories. However, there is a general consensus that the role of reduplication in English language has been widely ignored. Recent

corpus based studies have indicated that the  usage  of reduplication  among   English   language   speakers   is  more   widespread   than assumed to be and needs in-depth study (Nadarajan, 2007).
