Reduplication is the morphological process in which some phonological material is duplicated. There are several types of reduplication in English, including partial reduplication, deprecative reduplication, contrastive reduplication and intensive reduplication. In this paper, however, our attention is confined to partial reduplication in English that includes ablaut type reduplication, rhyme type reduplication and copy type reduplication. Within the area of partial reduplication, this paper first attempts to address the issue of the morphological nature of the partial reduplication process in English. That is, this paper investigates whether the partial reduplication process in English is affixation or compounding. Discussing the traits of most compound structures in English, this paper contends that English partial reduplication could be considered as prosodic affixation occurring in level 2. Secondly, this paper discusses the issue of identifying the base in English partial reduplication structures. On the basis of the examination of the previous proposals, this paper suggests that there be no process to identify the base of the reduplicative structure in English. Since a number of English reduplication structures consist of the parts that can not be regarded as real lexical words, this paper suggests that, as in Minkova (2002), there be no identification of the base.
