AB  - This contribution is aimed at an explanation of the motivation for the composition of Afrikaans grammatical and onomatopoeic reduplications within a cognitive grammar framework. It is illustrated that we can adequately describe the formation of reduplications in terms of four valence factors, viz. correspondence, profile determinacy, autonomy/dependency asymmetry, and constituency. By claiming that reduplications in Afrikaans are motivated largely by metonymies like MORE OF FORM FOR MORE OF CONTENT, WHOLE THING FOR A PART OF THE THING, TWO PROCESSES FOR AN INDEFINITE NUMBER OF PROCESSES, and PRODUCT FOR PRODUCER, an indication of the relation of metonymy to grammar is given, thereby offering a psychologically plausible and natural description and explanation of the motivation for Afrikaans reduplications.
