Abstract

Reduplication as a word-formation process in Mandarin, which is one of the most difficult knowledge to comprehend for scholar and student. Theoretically this research offers an approach that is different from what has been made by previous researchers. Using the M.D.S Simatupang free context approach this research contrasts the reduplicative forms of all word classes and shows the relationships between them (AA, AABB, ABAB, ABB) and their basic forms (A, AB), then based on test of categorical word and test of lexical decomposition as proposed by J.W.M Verhaar, this study analyzes and explains reduplication and inflectional reduplication in Mandarin in order to students understand as their meaning vocabularies. As a result, this research examines the derivational and inflectional reduplication in Mandarin all at once can disseminate the use of morphological theory. In addition, this study discusses Mandarin reduplication based on various word classes that are contained as a basis for the relevant form of reduplication. Beginner research results will be presented in this study in order to stimulate more complete writing, it will be better if this research can be disseminated in order to add learning and reading material for future research.

Highlights

Mandarin is spoken around Beijing and forms the basis of the country's national language [1].Reduplication is one of the most productive word formation phenomena in Mandarin, as we will see throughout this research
A lot of words can reduplicate with AA form in Mandarin, delivering an entire increasing function, verbal reduplications appear to be creative: A yī A, A le A and A le yī A
Based on the data examined above, in addition to isolating meanings and figurative meanings. as we have shown with the reduplicative processes of Mandarin as we have shown with the reduplicative processes of Mandarin

Summary

Introduction

Mandarin is spoken around Beijing and forms the basis of the country's national language [1]. Reduplication is one of the most productive word formation phenomena in Mandarin, as we will see throughout this research. Reduplication in Mandarin is a creative phenomenon, virtually affecting all major lexical categories (nouns, verbs, adjectives). This research will investigate reduplication of Mandarin with specific attention to its part in derivational morphology. Full reduplication involves a reduplication of the entire word. Full word lexical reduplication: 年nián ‘year’ > 年年nián nián ‘every year’. Reduplicated monosyllabic nouns like 年年nián nián are abbreviated as AA form. Partial reduplication involves a reduplication of only part of the word. Reduplicated monosyllabic nouns like 暗沉沉àn chén chén are abbreviated as AAB form
