Abstract
Reduplication is an important phenomenon in language studies especially in Indian languages. The definition of reduplication is the repetition of the smallest linguistic unit partially or completely i.e. repetition of phoneme, morpheme, word, phrase, clause or the utterance as a whole and it gives different meaning in syntax as well as semantic level. The reduplicated words has important role in many natural language processing (NLP) applications, namely in machine translation (MT), text summarization, identification of multiword expressions, etc. This article focuses on an algorithm for identifying the reduplicated words from a text corpus and computing statistics (descriptive statistics) of reduplicated words frequently used in Bengali.
