Abstract

The purpose of this paper, as a case study of the distinction between rep- etition and reduplication, is to investigate whether iterative phenomena in Jinghpaw, a Tibeto-Burman language of northern Burma, can be clearly characterized as either repetition or reduplication by applying the criteria for these two iterative phenom- ena developed by Gil (2005) to a range of Jinghpaw data collected by the author. This paper reports that Jinghpaw, along with prototypical examples of repetition and reduplication, also has non-prototypical cases of reduplication, including reduplica- tion involving more than two copies, reduplication involving discontinuous copies, and reduplication beyond the scope of morphology. Our data also suggest the exis- tence of copying constructions that cannot be classified as either repetition or redu- plication, posing difficulties for the binary distinction of iterative phenomena.
