For several reasons, mostly inherent to the different developments of generative grammar, an increasing number of publications have dealt with reduplication in the past 20 years. Reduplication lends itself perfectly as a test field for theories that opt for a non-segmental organization of phonology and morphology. As it happens frequently, then, the discussion centers around a rather small set of data for which alternative analysis are offered, and which themselves are intended to contribute to the foundation of new theoretical developments. The present volume (which goes back to a conference on reduplication at the University of Graz, Austria) offers a broader approach to reduplication not only from different theoretical viewpoints, but especially for its phenomenology. Across theories a number of highly qualified authors deal with formal and functional perspectives, with typological properties, with semantics, comparative issues, the role of reduplication in language acquisition, the acquisition of reduplicative systems, sign languages, creoles and pidgins, general grammatical and cognitive principles; the picture is completed by a series of language or language-family specific studies as on Uto-Aztecan, Salish, Tupi-Guarani, Moroccan and Cairene Arabic, various African languages, Chinese, Turkish, Indo-European, languages from India, etc. The overall scope of the conference was to contribute to a new level of discussion of the phenomenon, across theories and across specializations and interests.

Total reduplication is a widely common phenomenon in human languages. Nevertheless, it has not gained sufficient attention among linguists. This monograph demonstrates that the comparative study of total reduplication challenges the traditional notion of linguistic universal. Contrary to the belief that total reduplication is almost completely unknown in the linguistic landscape of Europe, it is shown that a sizable group of European languages make ample use of total reduplication (not only for lexical but also for grammatical purposes). This means that the areal-typological map of the Old Continent has to be modified considerably. With special focus on the situation in Europe, the functional and formal aspects which determine the systematic character of total reduplication are presented according to quantitative and qualitative principles. Their importance for general linguistic theory is elaborated upon. The results are evaluated cartographically. The data are drawn from several hundred languages (standard and nonstandard varieties) world-wide. Methodologically, the study relies on a huge parallel literary corpus. Totale Reduplikation ist ein zu Unrecht in der typologischen Sprachforschung wenig beachtetes Phänomen. In dieser Monographie wird nachgewiesen, dass die sprachvergleichende Erforschung von totaler Reduplikation Konsequenzen für das allgemeine Verständnis von sprachlichen Universalien hat. Auch in Europa kann entgegen gängiger Auffassungen totale Reduplikation nachgewiesen werden, wodurch das Bild vom sprachlichen Areal Europa revidiert werden muss. Die funktionale und formale Systematik der totalen Reduplikation wird in qualitativer und quantitativer Hinsicht mit Schwerpunkt auf die europäische Situation detailliert dargestellt und für die allgemeine Theoriebildung fruchtbar gemacht. Die Ergebnisse werden sprachgeographisch mit Hilfe von Isoglossen ausgewertet. Die Daten stammen aus mehreren Hundert Varietäten weltweit.
