We have found that the repetition of these suffixes is recurrent in the in-house and slang registers and is used to intensify the characteristic determined by the root word without to use adverbs or adjectives. But before studying the phenomenon it is necessary to inquire about the two suffixes: their origin and their use to know if there is something in them that motivates the reduplication. This proposal is made through philology and U.S. linguists research about reduplication considering the examples found in a Colombian cartoon, in literature and in certain social networks.</p>}, number={37}, journal={Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica}, author={Tarazona, Edinson}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={1–16} }
