Giorgio's lexicon of word-pairs (reduplications, T )
Quite a few reduplications (words consisting of two near-duplicated elements) have been highlighted in other short verses by the authors. Matching the selection on the above slide, these include "tip-top".
For readers with a musical bent, we have a song-cycle of 9 songs displaying the spectrum of these binomial expressions. They have lyrics stuffed with word-pairs, arranged to familiar tunes. You can readily access this singable treasure trove of binomial expressions of various types by clicking on the link for the first song, "WORD PAIRS", HERE.
