Contrary to earlier approaches, this study suggests that Modern Greek (MG) is a language that exhibits reduplication, in the form of Total Reduplication (TR). Based on two experiments with native speakers, the analysis aims at a typology of TR in MG and addresses the morphosyntactic, phonological, semantic and pragmatic aspects of each major type, as well as the constraints and speakers' preferences concerning their use.
