abstractCommunicating information about our affective states is an important aspect of utterance meaning. Affective meanings can be expressed either explicitly or in an implicit way, for example by using particular linguistic structures likeCreative Total Reduplication(CTR), the intentional and immediate repetition of a word (“It’s alittle littlecat”). We claim that, in addition to its explicit meaning (‘very little’), CTR conveys an affective meaning reflecting the speaker’s evaluation of the world as good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant (“It’s acute littlecat”). The experiment reported here used a verification task with judgments of consistency. It aimed at verifying two hypotheses: first, the presence of CTR generates valued affective inferences; second, affective inferences are generated faster with CTR than with thesimplex(i.e., non-reduplicated) form. Results strongly confirm the first hypothesis and disconfirm the second.
