More about the book
Focusing on the complex process of reduplication in Afrikaans, this study reveals that its principles are shared across various languages, challenging the notion of unique linguistic structures. Botha argues that understanding Afrikaans reduplication does not require specialized conceptual frameworks, aligning with contemporary cognitive research. The analysis exemplifies Galilean linguistic inquiry, contributing valuable insights into morphology, word formation, and semantics, making it a significant resource for scholars in these fields.
