This volume presents revised versions of three linguistic MA theses, closely tied to the research on reduplicative constructions conducted by the "Sprachkontakt und Sprachvergleich" group at the University of Bremen. Contributions from JULIA NINTEMANN and MAJA ROBBERS continue the tradition of cross-linguistic studies on reduplication, offering fresh data from underexplored languages. Their findings highlight the need for more detailed areal-linguistic studies to empirically evaluate existing hypotheses about reduplicative constructions. JULIA NINTEMANN examines reduplication in twenty genetically diverse Kenyan languages, revealing significant structural and functional diversity despite long-standing language contact. She challenges the belief that partial reduplication necessarily implies total reduplication, identifying languages that exhibit only partial reduplication. Similarly, MAJA ROBBERS, using a larger sample of North American and Mesoamerican languages, argues against the dependence of partial reduplication on total reduplication, as many languages in her study lack total reduplication while demonstrating partial forms. She also questions the classification of certain phenomena as total reduplication, suggesting they may be instances of disyllabic reduplication. In contrast, JULIAN A. ROTT's thesis explores the psycholinguistics of case-marking and semantic roles in modern Icelandic compared to German. His researc
