filtering reduplication

[Gary Persons]

Using Regular Expressions, how do you filter for the reduplication of CV (e.g. gaga, dada, etc.)? Can you use Natural Classes in Regular Expressions?

Hi, Gary.

 

My ability with regular expressions is pretty basic, so someone else may have a better way to do what you’re wanting, but you can try something like this:

^([bcdfghjklmnprstvwyz][aeiou])\1

 

Amend that to specify whatever consonants you have in your language in the first set of square brackets and the vowels that exist in your language in the second set of square brackets.

If you can reference a natural class in a regular expression, I don’t know how to do it.

 

Note: This regular expression looks for word-initial reduplication only.

 

Best wishes,

Thanks Kevin, I was trying to do it with Natural Classes, but this works.
