Kamil Stachowski examines partial interfixed reduplications in standard Turkic languages. Generally no longer productive, this type of reduplication serves primarily to intensify adjectives and adverbs. Unlike previous texts, his book considers the phenomenon comparatively across twenty modern languages and is based on complete collections of examples. It approaches the subject from a diachronic perspective, combining etymological, historical-comparative, and quantitative methodology.

Stachowski presents the basic semantics of Turkic reduplications, from the expected intensification to other interesting features. His work has a clear and logical structure, and he displays an excellent understanding of the material, presenting the phenomenon of reduplication against a wider and not just Turkic background. Numerous tables, graphs, and maps substantially facilitate comprehension."
