Name of creator(s) : Michael Moerman

Scope and content : Moerman refers to Perelman’s work (1968: 117-118) on the use of repeated words to convey the same arguments (i.e. tautology). Each time a word is used the meaning may change, depending on the occasion. Moerman questions whether such a model is equally valid in Thai, English and French, and looks at how tautology is used in different languages.

Extent and medium : Punch card
