ANALYTICAL REDUPLICATION OF ROOTS IN THE LANGUAGE OF ARMENIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 5TH CENTURY

Abstract

The complications created by patterns of reduplication are an integral part of the vocabulary of Old Armenian and were widely used in translation books of the Bible. There are a number of reduplications in the Holy Book formed by independent roots, which with a certain frequency were also used in the bibliographical monuments of the fifth century. 

The study shows that analytical reduplications have different patterns: аnalytical constructions with the reduplication of simple roots are found, as well as repetitions formed by prepositions, such as: արագ արագ, մանր մանր, դաս դաս, յոյժ յոյժ, երկու երկու, եւթն եւթն և  խառն ի խուռն, դէմ առ դէմ, լու ի լու etc. On the other hand, joint reduplications are also found in expressions involving articles: շեղջս շեղջս, գունդս գունդս, etc. 

The study has been carried out by synchronous research within the historical-comparative method.
