Reduplication is a linguistic process that involves creating new words by doubling a morpheme, resulting in twin-words like 'fifty-fifty' and 'dilly-dally.' It can be categorized into total reduplication and partial reduplication, which includes ablaut and rhyming forms. The originating morpheme can be altered in various ways to form these new expressions.
