Editing Reduplication (section)

====Full and partial====
''Full reduplication'' involves a reduplication of the entire word. For example, [[Kham language|Kham]] derives reciprocal forms from [[Reflexive pronoun|reflexive]] forms by total reduplication:

{| style="line-height: 1.4em;" cellpadding="2"
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| {{IPA|[ɡin]}}
| 'ourselves'
| →
| {{IPA|[ɡinɡin]}}
| 'we (to) us'
| {{IPA|(ɡin-ɡin)}}
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| {{IPA|[jaː]}}
| 'themselves'
| →
| {{IPA|[jaːjaː]}}
| 'they (to) them'
| {{IPA|(jaː-jaː)}}

Another example is from Musqueam [[Halkomelem]] "dispositional" [[Grammatical aspect|aspect]] formation:

{| style="line-height: 1.4em;" cellpadding="2"
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| {{IPA|[kʼʷə́ɬ]}}
| 'to capsize'
| →
| {{IPA|[kʼʷə́ɬkʼʷəɬ]}}
| 'likely to capsize'
| {{IPA|(kʼʷə́ɬ-kʼʷəɬ)}}
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| {{IPA|[qʷél]}}
| 'to speak'
| →
| {{IPA|[qʷélqʷel]}}
| 'talkative'
| {{IPA|(qʷél-qʷel)}}

''Partial reduplication'' involves a reduplication of only part of the word. For example, [[Marshallese language|Marshallese]] forms words meaning 'to wear X' by reduplicating the last ''consonant-vowel-consonant'' (''CVC'') sequence of a base, i.e. ''base''+''CVC'':

{| style="line-height: 1.4em;" cellpadding="2"
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| ''kagir''
| 'belt'
| →
| ''kagirgir''
| 'to wear a belt'
| (kagir-gir)
|-
| &nbsp;
| &nbsp;
| ''takin''
| 'sock'
| →
| ''takinkin''
| 'to wear socks'
| (takin-kin)

Many languages often use both full and partial reduplication, as in the [[Motu language|Motu]] example below:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Base verb
! Full reduplication
! Partial reduplication
|-
| ''mahuta'' &nbsp;'to sleep'
| ''mahutamahuta'' &nbsp;'to sleep constantly'
| ''mamahuta'' &nbsp;'to sleep (plural)'
|-
| &nbsp;
| (''mahuta-mahuta'')
| (''ma-mahuta'')
