Özet:

 


Reduplicated words are a
fascinating, and fun aspect of language. In many languages (nearly 85%)
reduplication has been observed. Reduplication, as Charles Kauffman (2015)
points out is a morphological process that through doubling a morpheme
enhances, emphasizes, amplifies, enlarges, diminishes, adds number or changes
verb tense – to bring about significant meaning changes or shades of meaning.
In general, there are two basic forms – full reduplication and partial
reduplication that each of them includes several forms. In this research, our
purpose is identifying and introducing a variety of reduplication patterns in
Kurdish language. For this purpose we explored more than 700 samples of
reduplications in Kurdish language and categorized them in several sets. We
noticed that frequentative, increased action, and plural action as the most
common semantic categories marked by reduplication in the samples. The studies
show that this morphological process especially partial type causes some
changes in the meaning of resulting combinations. What is added to the
reduplicant (base or root), in most cases, is meaningless. It also seems this
kind of words especially partial ones are used in informal language and an
ironic meaning is inferred by them.
