description As a phonological and morphological process, reduplication is capable of producing both meaningful and meaningless components, which has made it a challenging issue in linguistics. There is a considerable number of reduplicants in Kermānshāhi Kurdish which can be helpful in the recognition of true reduplicants. In this dialect, reduplicants appear in the form of adverbs, adjectives, verbs and even onomatopoeias. In the present study, around 180 reduplicants have been collected from oral and written sources and studied based on Sharon Inkelas and Cheryl Zoll (2005). Putting aside repetitive words which are common between Persian and Kurdish, the rest of words have been hierarchically classified into seven groups; reduplicants involving only phonological similarity of the daughters, reduplicants involving phonological as well as semantic similarity of the daughters, particles, partial suffixal reduplication, partial prefixal reduplication, onomatopoeia and full reduplications. The aim of this descriptive - analytical research is to explore how useful morphological reduplication is in the study of redplicants in Kermānshāhi Kurdish. The results indicate that morphological construction allows to examine repetition of metaphorical daughters as reduplications. However, for repetitive words involving meaningless daughters, this theory needs to be reanalyzed.
