*jibber-jabber /ˈjibər-ˌ jabər/ v./n. 叽叽喳喳；胡言胡语
**lubb-dupp /ˈləb-ˌ dəp/ onom. 扑通扑通；听诊器中的心跳声
Jibber-jabber和lubb-dupp即为一对构成二元对立性的英文叠词。jibber-jabber* 与瀑布翻页书结构相结合，描绘了有声但无意义的聒噪转瞬即逝；lubb-dupp**则压印在一张轻薄的纸片上，传达了无声却有意义的永恒绵延不绝。
Language learning is and will always be one of my great enthusiasm, especially lexicology, through which one can feel a nation’s logic pattern and personality. The reduplicative formation in English is quite different from it in Chinese. In Chinese, reduplicative involves same character repeating, whereas in English it juxtaposes synonyms with alliteration or assonance.
Jibber‑jabber and lubb‑dupp are a pair of English reduplicatives with duality. Combined with the structure of waterfall flip‑book, jibber‑jabber depicts the ephemerality of lousiness but meaninglessness. By contrast, lubb‑dupp is printed on a delicate piece of paper, conveying the eternity of soundlessness yet ceaselessness.
