The purpose of this article is to develop a prosodic model fo Germanic reduplicating verbs. Within this framework, in line with McCarthy (1981), reduplication is characterized as a many-to-one association between a prosodic template and a melodic tier. It will be claimed that the proposed model is superior for the following reasons : 1) it can provide a principled description of Gothic reduplication ; 2) it can account for the mechanism whereby reduplication came to be replaced by ablaut in the other Gmc : 3) it can correctly derive certain anomalies attested in the new ablaut series. In the course of investigation, moreover, I shall argue for a metrically (s/w)-based version of prosodic theory as an alternative to the current C/V-based counterpart.
