A Morphological Analysis of Reduplication in Rindre

In Nigeria, morphological studies of many languages usually indicate the presence of reduplication as a means employed by these languages. In this undertaking, the attempt is the examination of the morphology of reduplication in the Rindre language. The study is through the use of a primary method with the application of an unstructured observation in which data were obtained from speakers of the language. Also, there is the use of the framework which is based on Eugene Nida’s sixth principle as contained in Tomori (1977). The findings of the study show that reduplication is a rich source of word formation in Rindre and is divided into full and partial reduplications. In the conclusion, the paper makes the appeal for further studies of this kind across many languages.
