I can't find a source for this, but as a native speaker, I know that it's done in Danish as well. If anyone can find a source it would be much appreciated. Bobber0001 (talk) 18:17, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
"forward-slash"
editDoes it fit here? A backslash is (in contrast to a slash) a backward slash. It seems that "forward-slash" is reduplicative --- a sort of double reversal or pseudo-negation? dvdrtrgn (talk) 17:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Like-like as bad preeminent example
editI find it bothersome that the first example given, "do you like-like him?", doesn't even seem to me an example of contrastive focus reduplication, just some other form of reduplication. To me, the definition of like-like is to fancy. As in schoolchildren say like-like, as in to have a crush. Urban Dictionary backs this up. Maybe it's an American thing? Ref 1 seems oblivious to this. Yet that's not the prototypical meaning of "like." In fact, that definition doesn't show up in the Oxford Dictionary for "Like" at all. I'd argue the prototypical meaning of like in the aforementioned context is "find agreeable, enjoyable, or satisfactory" which, Oxford gives for its example, is "all his classmates liked him." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nouthatwell (talk • contribs) 06:41, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
