Contrastive focus reduplication (also lexical cloning, the double construction) is a little studied type of syntactic reduplication found in some languages that indicates the prototypical meaning of the repeated word or phrase. The term word word was coined by U.S. writer Paul Dickson in 1982 to describe this. The first part of the reduplicant bears contrastive intonational stress. The construction is found in English and Italian and perhaps in Vulgar Latin, Russian, and Persian as well.
