Reduplication in Nisgha ...
Nisgha exhibits diverse reduplication types, each type displaying consonant and vowel variation. This thesis investigates the phonological properties of these reduplication types and accounts for them in an autosegmental framework. In particular, the reduplication types are examined in Marantz'...

Nisgha exhibits diverse reduplication types, each type displaying consonant and vowel variation. This thesis investigates the phonological properties of these reduplication types and accounts for them in an autosegmental framework. In particular, the reduplication types are examined in Marantz's framework, as presented in "Re Reduplication" (1982). In accordance with Marantz's principles, this thesis represents Nisgha reduplication as the affixation of a skeletal morpheme to which a copy of the phonemic melody is associated.
