^ Newman, Stanley (December 20, 2008). Similarly, " OPEC countries" are two or more member states of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, whereas "OPEC" by itself denotes the overall organization. For example, " laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) light" is light produced by a light amplification process. Sometimes the presence of repeated words does not create a redundant phrase. The tautology is not parsed by the mind in most instances of real-world use (in many cases because the foreign word's meaning is not known anyway in others simply because the usage is idiomatic). This occurs for the same linguistic reasons that cause many toponyms to be tautological. For example, in French, "le protocole IP" (the Internet Protocol protocol) is often used, and in English "please RSVP" (roughly "please respond please") is very common. The redundancy may help the listener by providing context and decreasing the " alphabet soup quotient" (the cryptic overabundance of abbreviations and acronyms) of the communication.Īcronyms and initialisms from foreign languages are often treated as unanalyzed morphemes when they are not translated. Some instances of RAS syndrome can be viewed as syntactic examples of the principle. A phonetic example of that principle is the need for spelling alphabets in radiotelephony. Similarly, in 'Wipe that smile off your face' the last two words are tautological-there is no other place a smile could be-but the sentence would not stand without them." Ī limited amount of redundancy can improve the effectiveness of communication, either for the whole readership or at least to offer help to those readers who need it. ' SALT talks' and ' HIV virus' are technically redundant because the second word is already contained in the preceding abbreviation, but only the ultra-finicky would deplore them. It can be used for effect ., or for clarity, or in deference to idiom. Bill Bryson says, "Not all repetition is bad. Finicky in a sentence code#
