Prince Rana, Neeta Rana · AIP conference proceedings · 2024
This paper provides a review of research on the reduplication pattern found in various languages spoken throughout the world.Reduplication is a topic on which many studies have been conducted over the last few decades.Reduplication varies by language, with some languages having a lot of reduplication patterns and others having very little.It is a critical point in Linguistics to understand the phonological and morphological structure, as well as the behaviour of the word, which is useful in language processing.In our study, we also included languages whose scope is quite limited, and only a few researchers have expressed an interest in them.Researchers created their own models and methods for categorizing reduplication.Several methods for collecting data for analysis or creating test sets have been discussed.These methods include both offline and online methods, such as face-to-face interviews, dictionaries, text books, newspapers, and so on.It has been discussed which application areas may be impacted if these reduplication patterns are not treated properly.This research area must be handled carefully and with great care in order to obtain the best results from the systems.As these words plays vital role in part of speech tagging (POS), information extraction, machine translation etc.Our review paper attempts to cover the maximum number of reduplication words and its types found in various languages.
