Abstract
In Modern Standard Turkish, certain adjectives can be intensified by a reduplicative prefixing process which copies the initial CV of the stem and adds a third consonant. The prefix is stressed. Main word stress falls on the prefix, and stem stress is reduced. The main proposal of this paper is that at the nonsurface level of phonological representation the reduplicative prefix (henceforth, REDUP) is a separate word.
