Résumé :

This paper discusses analogy as a source of total reduplication in Gizey (Masa TOTAL reduplication). The targetsublexicon triggering this analogical shift consists of pre-existing ideophonic/ono-matopoeic total reduplicatives. The lexical material examined in this paper is com-posed mainly of frozen reduplicatives i.e., word forms built by duplicating unattestedbases. I show that these vestigial reduplicatives also allow for positing two othermorphological doubling processes where specific cophonologies truncate specifiedphonological material. I also consider potential challenges dealing with infixal redu-plication
