我们通过系统地比较古埃及(公元前2500-2000年)和科普特埃及(公元3-12)的重叠词干结构，探索古埃及(非洲-亚洲)动词重叠的历时发展。古埃及语是一种拥有丰富重叠模式的语言，在近四千年不间断的语言历史过程中，这些重叠模式已经减少。科普特人只保留了有限数量的重复茎结构，经常伴随着简单茎的丧失。我们发现，语言中动词重叠生产率的下降与动词领域中广泛的形态和句法变化有关。
We explore the diachronic development of verbal reduplication in Ancient Egyptian (Afro-Asiatic) by systematically comparing reduplicative stem formations in Old Egyptian (2500–2000 BC) and in Coptic Egyptian (3rd–12th c. AD). Old Egyptian is a language with a rich inventory of reduplication patterns, which have been reduced in the course of almost four thousand years of uninterrupted language history. Coptic retains only a limited number of reduplicative stem formations, frequently with concomitant loss of the simple stem. We show that the decreasing productivity of verbal reduplication in the language correlates with broad morphological and syntactic changes in the verbal domain.
