Morphological reduplication in Sign Language of the Netherlands: A typological and theoretical perspective [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
The topic of this dissertation is morphological reduplication in Sign Language of the Netherlands (Nederlandse Gebarentaal, NGT). Under reduplication, (part of) a word or sign is repeated, in order to yield a systematic change in meaning. The present study focuses on three of its functions: nominal pluralization, aspect marking, and reciprocal marking. Analysis of naturalistic corpus data is combined with data elicitation. Beyond offering a description of NGT reduplication, this book presents a typological perspective on the phenomenon. The dissertation also presents a theoretical perspective by offering a formalization of the results in stochastic Optimality Theory (OT).
