Abstract:
This research work is concerned with reduplication in Nigerian English
from the speeches and utterances of some students in the Department
of Modern European Languages and Linguistics, Usmanu Danfodiyo
University, Sokoto. The study shows that reduplication occurs to
signify contrastive meaning, pluralism, emphasis and creation of new
words with different semantic forms. Reduplication wastherefore further
discovered to be one of the features of Nigerian English.
