Sažetak
The present contribution is concerned with some iconic aspects of adjective reduplication expressing intensification in a number of European languages (Germanic, Slavic, Romance and Finno-Ugric) that have so far largely gone unnoticed. First, I consider the role of affixes added to one the two elements in reduplicated constructions, and then the variation in so-called ablaut-motivated reduplications. It is claimed that in both cases we can observe a lengthening of one element, making it morphologi-cally and/or phonologically heavier, which further stresses the idea of intensification.
