GEMINATING Meaning and
Definition
-
Geminating is a verb form that describes the act of producing or pronouncing a geminate. A geminate, in linguistics, is a sound or phoneme that is articulated for an extended period compared to a regular single sound. It is characterized by being held or prolonged longer than its usual duration. This term is commonly used in the context of phonetics and phonology to distinguish between different qualities of speech sounds.
When geminating a sound, a speaker holds a consonant or a vowel for an extended time, usually twice as long as the regular duration of the sound. Gemination can occur in various languages and may have different effects on pronunciation and meaning. For instance, in some languages, geminating a consonant may alter the stress pattern or morphological meaning of a word.
Geminating can also refer to the process of forming words by doubling a syllable or morpheme in some languages. This process can occur as part of a regular morphological rule or as an accentual pattern. For example, in some languages, verbal inflection may involve geminating a syllable to mark tense or aspect.
Overall, geminating refers to the production or pronunciation of a prolonged sound or syllable, either as a part of regular phonetic articulation or as a morphological and accentual process in certain languages.

Etymology of GEMINATING
The word geminating is derived from the Latin word geminatus, which means twinned or paired. The Latin root gemin- is related to the idea of doubling or duplication. In morphology and phonetics, gemination refers to the act of making a consonant sound longer or double, such as in book versus bookkeeper, where the k sound is geminated in the latter word. Therefore, the term geminating is formed by adding the suffix -ing to the verb form of geminate, which means to double or to make something twinned.
