Niepokuj Mary. The Development of Verbal Reduplication in Indo-European

Washington D.C.: Institute for the Study of Man. — 1997. — 247 p.
Journal of Indo-European Studies Monograph: Number 24“The present study [...] has two main goals. The first goal is to demonstrate that one kind of morphological change, that affecting reduplication, exhibits clear-cut directionality; this directionality can be explained as a special kind of grammaticalization. The second goal is to use this result in comparative reconstruction. Due to the limitations of my data, I will only be able to demonstrate regular patterns of change for the phonological aspects of grammaticalization; my discussion of the semantics of reduplication will unfortunately be lirnited to looking at the range of values associated with various attested systems of reduplication. Even with this limitation, however, my survey of the semantics of reduplication will suggest new analyses for two instances of verbal reduplication in Indo-European.”Preface
