Redundancy means unnecessary repetition or the employment
of more words than are necessary. Redundancy occurs when the same thing is said
twice. In the following examples, the word or phrase in the parentheses merely
adds clutter because its meaning is contained in the other word.
- 1. A (dead) Corpse.
- 2. Audible (to the ear)
- 3. The (Final) conclusion)
- 4. (Past) Experience.
- 5. Necessary (Prequisite)
- 6. Mix( together)
- 7. (whether) or not
- 8. (the month of) August
- 9. (Personal) Opinion
- 10. Consensus ( Of opinion)
- 11. Repeat ( again)
- 12. Repeat (again)
- 13. Utmost( perfections)
- 14. (marble) stone
- 15. (new) innovation
Redundancy must not be confused with repetition. For the
sake of clarity, the difference between redundancy and repetition is given
