Abstract
- This paper aims to study augmentative suffixes -ón and -ote and the reduplication in some varieties of modern Spanish. We have found that repetition of these suffixes is recurrent in the in-house and casual registers, and it is used to intensify the characteristic determined by the root word without employing adverbs or adjectives. But before studying the phenomenon it is necessary to inquire about the two suffixes (their origin and their use) to know if there is something in them that motivates the reduplication. This proposal is made through philology, and research of U.S. linguists like Wilbur, McCarthy or Marantz about reduplication, considering the examples found in a Colombian cartoon, in literature and in certain social networks.
