While in Latin there were only reduplications of monosyllables, Romance languages have a lot of polysyllabic (mostly disyllabic) reduplications. This development could arise due to a bigger expressivity of vulgar Latin mixed with vernacular languages and to their contacts with other languages: Germanic (mostly English and German), Celtic, Slavic, Turkic and Hungarian, in which the polysyllabic reduplication is the most common.}, doi = {10.4467/20843917RC.15.003.4000}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/reduplicative-syllables-in-romance-languages} }
