Turkic C- type reduplications

Abstract

The present book can be viewed as a patchwork of topics relating more or less directly to Turkic reduplications. Many are interconnected and interdependent, which renders it impossible to organize the presentation in a linear way. The thematic division adopted here is only one of the possible groupings, and not necessarily optimal for all tasks. To alleviate this inconvenience, the current chapter first summarizes the whole following a different thematic division (4.1), and then very briefly recapitualtes what I consider to be the most important conclusions (4.2). Some thoughts are expressed more clearly here than in the previous chapters, where they were lost between auxiliary observations.
