Are perfect-reduplication and quasi-reduplication related?
#37
Hi Koen,
there is so much to do in this area!

You can find some data about perfectly-reduplicating words here:

Possibly, the most interesting thing is that aiin never reduplicates.
It seems that frequently reduplicating words are quite different in A (short bench-words) and B (qo-words).

Here I posted some details about quasi-reduplication, but I focussed on the difference between the two words, rather than the words themselves:

What I found is that q- words and (at a lesser extent) o-words seem to be particularly active in the phenomenon.
But checking if words that reduplicate more than expected (i.e. more frequently than in the scrambled text) also quasi-reduplicate with a similar rate seems like another interesting idea. Thank you!

I am also thinking of checking these patterns:
X X X'
X' X X
i.e. perfect-reduplication followed by quasi-reduplication and vice-versa. I suspect this could be something I did in the past, but I cannot find it at the moment.
