Usage Notes or Etymology
The term 'reduplikatif' originates from the base word reduplikasi, which is borrowed from English 'reduplication'. This word entered Indonesian linguistic vocabulary through the translation of foreign technical terms. In Indonesian linguistics, reduplication is classified into several types based on repetition patterns, such as “full reduplication” (repeating the entire base word) and “partial reduplication” (repeating part of the base word). This process is a characteristic feature of Austronesian morphology.
