Redundancy (linguistics)

In linguistics, a redundancy is information that is expressed more than once.[1][2]

Examples of redundancies include multiple agreement features in morphology,[1] multiple features distinguishing phonemes in phonology,[2] or the use of multiple words to express a single idea in rhetoric.[1]
