Reduplications are words or phrases that contain a
duplicated element. An example is the phrase "riffraff".
The two parts of the word are almost the same (i.e. "riff"
and "raff"), but they have a small change (the vowels).
When you have a rhyming reduplication, the duplicated
element rhymes with the original element in the phrase. A
good example is "lovey-dovey".
