Assertion - I : Often reduplication has an augmentative meaning. Assertion - II : It signals an increase in size, frequency or intensity.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true. Reduplication often has an augmentative meaning, signalling an increase in size, frequency or intensity, as in plurals, repeated actions and intensive forms in many languages.
The first statement says what the meaning often is, and the second spells out what it conveys, so both are correct and the options calling either false are wrong. Examples are the repetition of a word in Hindi to give 'each' or 'many', and intensive forms like 'big big' in Indian English.
