Claro, y también tiene el significado que indico, o sea "repetir"(4); no sólo lo que se ha dicho sino lo que se ha hecho.

duplicar


Explanation:
duplicar o copiar es lo más común...en estudios científicos se usa replicar cuando quiere uno decir que el experimento se va a llevar a cabo bajo condiciones idénticas...el hombre en la calle entiende por replicar...el replicar de campanas...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gracias José. Creo que "imitar" podría servir, aunque la frase en sí en inglés me parece confusa. Por cierto, que para las campanas se usa "repicar"
