Abstract

This study investigates the morphological processes of reduplication in the Ibibio language. Its objectives are to ascertain if construction morphology can account for reduplication in the Ibibio language, what word class can be reduplicated and how reduplication occurs. This study adopts construction morphology as the theoretical framework and the data for the analysis were generated by introspection since the researcher is a native speaker of Ibibio and the standard Ibibio language was adopted. This study reveals that construction morphology can account for reduplication in the Ibibio language as data were analysed using construction morphology. It also reveals that in the Ibibio language, nouns, adjectives, adverbs and numerals are reduplicated completely while verbs and some adjectives reduplicate partially taking the consonant verb (CV) format as prefix (dá, dé, bó, kà, bé etc).
伊比比奥语中的重复
本研究探讨了伊比比奥语重叠现象的形态过程。其目的是确定结构形态学是否可以解释伊比比奥语中的重叠,什么词类可以重叠,以及重叠是如何发生的。本研究采用结构形态学作为理论框架,分析数据是通过内省产生的,因为研究者是以伊比比奥语为母语的人,并且采用了标准的伊比比奥语。这项研究表明,结构形态学可以解释Ibibio语中的重叠,因为数据是用结构形态学分析的。研究还表明,在Ibibio语中,名词、形容词、副词和数字是完全重叠的,而动词和一些形容词是部分重叠的,以辅音动词(CV)形式作为前缀(dá、dé、bó、kà、bé等)。
