Datapoint Vincentian Creole/Functions of reduplication
Reduplication can be lexical, in which case adjectives and adverbs are intensified by juxtaposed repetition. Verbs can also be intensified by reduplication, but the morpheme an is interposed before the repetition of the verb. Nouns are not usually pluralized by simple reduplication. It is common, however, for lengths of time (months etc.) to be pluralized using the marker s/z and repeated. In this case the coordinator must be present (e.g. monts an monts).
