reduplication—the formulation of new words through the repetition of part or all of a word—which occurs in many languages.

The following examples from Samoan illustrate this type of morphological rule.

manao = “he wishes” mananao = “they wish” matua = “he is old” matutua = “they are old” malosi = “he is strong” malolosi = “they are strong” punou = “he bends” punonou = “they bend” atamaki = “he is wise” atamamaki = “they are wise” savali = “he travels” pepese = “they sing” laga = “he weaves”

1. What is the Somoan for:
2. they weave
3. they travel
4. he sings
5. Formulate a general statement (a morphological rule) that states how to form the plural verb form from the singular form.
