 REDUPLI CATION
Reduplicative Words
A reduplicative is a word or lexeme
(such as mama) that contains two
identical or very similar parts. Words
such as these are also called tautonyms.
The morphological and phonological
process of forming a compound word by
repeating all or part of it is known as
reduplication. The repeated element is
called a reduplicant.
David Crystal wrote in the second edition of The Cambridge
Encyclopedia of the English Language:
"Items with identical spoken constituents, such as goody-
goody and din-din, are rare. What is normal is for a single
vowel or consonant to change between the first constituent
and the second, such as see-saw and walkie-talkie.
"Reduplicatives are used in a variety of ways. Some simply
imitate sounds: ding-dong, bow-wow. Some suggest
alternative movements: flip-flop, ping-pong. Some are
disparaging: ​dilly-dally, wishy-washy. And some intensify
meaning: teeny-weeny, tip-top. Reduplication is not a major
means of creating lexemes in English, but it is perhaps the
most unusual one."
(Cambridge Univ. Press, 2003)

 Rhyming: It is also considered reduplication

when the second half of the word rhymes
with the first. Product names are often
formed this way.

 COIN AGE

Coinage is the word formation process in which a new word is

created either deliberately or accidentally without using the other
word formation processes and often from seemingly nothing.
As neologism or coinage, we identify the word formation process
of inventing entirely new words (neology).

Also coinage refers to extension of a name of a product from a

specific reference to a more general one such as Kleenex, Xerox,
and Kodak.
Some words are differentiated from 'standard' neologisms, namely
eponyms. Eponyms are words that are ''based on the name of a
person or a place''.
