Abstract

Despite the importance of reduplication in Indonesian grammar, domestic researchers have neglected investigating this. In Indonesian grammar textbooks for higher education, the reduplication phenomena have typically been discussed simply and shortly. This is one reason why domestic university students who are studying Indonesian are not familiar with its reduplicated linguistic forms. Thus, this paper will examine and describe Indonesian reduplication in an effort to address this issue using a representational theory that was suggested by Raimy (2000). In addition, a rhythmic reduplication, one of three reduplication types in Indonesian, will be studied especially on its vowel/consonant changes. From this research, both lecturers and students will be able to have a comprehensive knowledge on the Indonesian reduplication.
