کلید واژگان: تکرار ، تکرار مسجع ،تکرار کامل، تکرار دگرگونی واکه Abstract This study aimed at analyzing the translation of English reduplicative words to Persian. Reduplication is a morphological process in which the root or stem of a word or a part of it is repeated. McCarthy mentioned three kinds of reduplication, Rhyming reduplication, exact reduplication and Ablaut reduplication. The corpuses on which the study was conducted were English novels and the Persian translation of them. Also the theoretical framework on which the study relied was strategies presented by Davis. By applying Davis’ translation strategies it was found that reduplicative words should not be translated literally if so they would lose the meaning. Moreover, in the struggle of form and meaning, preserving the meaning has superiority over preserving the form. Keywords: Reduplication, Rhyming reduplication, exact reduplication, Ablaut reduplication. Table of Contents Acknowledgments …………………………………………………………..……….I Abstract …………….…………………………………………………….……….
