More about the book
Focusing on the complexities of reduplication in Afrikaans, the study reveals that its principles are not exclusive to the language but shared across various tongues. Botha argues against the necessity of unique conceptual structures or standard procedures for understanding Afrikaans reduplication, aligning with contemporary cognitive theories. The analysis exemplifies Galilean linguistic inquiry, making significant contributions to morphology, word formation, and semantics, while offering advanced theoretical and methodological insights.
