The Hidden Rules of English: Ablaut
Reduplication and Adjective Order
Have you ever pondered
why we say "tick-tock"
instead of "tock-tick," or
why it's "King Kong" and
not "Kong King"? It turns
out that these patterns
are part of English's
unwritten mles, which
native speakers intuitively
follow without conscious
knowledge. A recent BBC
article sheds light on these
intriguing linguistic norms.
One of these rules,
known as "ablaut
reduplication," dictates
the sequence of vowel
sounds in repeated phrases.
If a phrase contains three
words, the order follows
I, A, O. With two words,
the first word uses I, and
the second either A or O.
Examples include "mish
mash," "chit-chat," "dilly
dally," "tip-top," "hip-
hop," and "flip-flop." This
pattern is so ingrained in
the English language that
deviating from it feels
unnatural.
Another rule, which
is evident in the name
"Little Red Riding Hood,"
pertains to the order
of adjectives. English
requires adjectives
to follow a specific
sequence: opinion, size,
age, shape, color, origin,
material, and then the
noun. For instance, one
might say, "a lovely little
old rectangular green
English silver knife."
Altering this order can
make the phrase sound
peculiar or confusing.
Interestingly, some
phrases like "Big Bad Wolf'
seem to violate the order
of opinion-size-noun, but
they actually adhere to
the ablaut reduplication
rule (I-A-O). This rule
seems inflexible, as seen
in phrases like "clip-clop,"
where reversing the order
to "clop-clip" sounds
distinctly off.
The technical term for
this phenomenon is "ablaut
reduplication." However,
most English speakers
unknowingly apply these
rules, illustrating the
language's complexity
and the intuitive grasp
native speakers have on its
nuances. Such linguistic
patterns highlight the
subtle, yet powerful, forces
shaping our everyday
communication.
