The Rule of Ablautreduplication

The Rule of Ablautreduplication

Why `tock-tick' does not sound right to your ears.

Ever wondered why we say :

tick-tock, not tock-tick, 

or  ding-dong, 

not dong ding; 

King Kong, 

not Kong King...? 

Turns out it is one of the unwritten rules of English that native speakers know without knowing.

The rule, explains a BBC article, is:

 "If there are three words then the order has to go...

I, A, O. 

If there are two words then the first is I and the second is either A or O."

Mish-mash, 

Chit-chat, 

Dilly-dally, 

hilly-shally ,

Tip-top,

Hip-hop, 

Flip-flop, 

Tic-tac, 

Sing-song, 

Ding-dong,

King Kong, 

Ping-pong."

There's another unwritten rule at work in the name Little Red Riding Hood, says the article.

"Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: 

Opinion - Size - Age -Shape - Colour -Origin - Material -Purpose - Noun. 

So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife.

But if you mess with that word order in the slightest... you'll sound like a maniac."

That explains why we say "little green men" not "green little men,"

But "Big Bad Wolf " sounds like a gross violation of the "opinion (bad)-size (big) noun (wolf)" order. 

It won't, though, if you recall the first rule about the I-A-O order...!! 

Got it..?

That rule seems inviolable:

 "All four of a horse's feet make exactly the same sound.

 But we always, always say clip-clop, never clop-clip."

This rule even has a Technical Name...!

If you care to Know it...

the *Rule of Ablautreduplication.* ..!

But then...

Life is Simpler, Knowing that we Know the Rule... Without Knowing It...!

Old origins

1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. 

Hence we have 'the rule of thumb.'

2. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...

Ladies Forbidden'... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

3. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades - King David, 

Hearts - Charlemagne, 

Clubs -Alexander the Great,

Diamonds - Julius Caesar

4. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.   When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... 'goodnight, sleep tight.'

5. It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. 

Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

6. In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... 

So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down.' 

It's where we get the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's'

7. Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. 

'Wet your whistle' is the phrase inspired by this practice.

8. In 1696, William III of England introduced a property tax that required those living in houses with more than six windows to pay a levy. In order to avoid the tax, house owners would brick up all windows except six. (The Window Tax lasted until 1851, and older houses with bricked-up windows are still a common sight in the U.K.) As the bricked-up windows prevented some rooms from receiving any sunlight, the tax was referred to as "daylight robbery"!
