Talk:Redundancy (linguistics)

message: It bothers me a little that the computer-programming angle of functional redundancy, as it were, is given top billing here. While it's an important issue, redundancy as the scourge of bad prose needs to be highlighted, IMV. I've written about this at User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_1a#Eliminating_redundancy. Should this be linked? Should some of the points I make be included here as well? Tony 05:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  angle 

message: May I suggest the addition of a section on words that are redundant or unnecessary within themselves, due to an unneeded prefix or suffix?  Someone above mentioned reduplication, as opposed to duplication.  Some words that make me cringe are...
* crispy, which means crisp
* irregardless / regardless
* prerecorded / recorded
* secondly / second (except in those rare occasions when secondly really is an adverb)
* thermonuclear / nuclear (Don't all nukes generate immense heat upon detonation?)
* thusly / thus
* usage / use
* wrongful / wrong

thread_title:  Single-Word Redundancies 

message: I only see two redundancies in this sign "Pepe's Mexican Taqueria" and they are both dubious.
"Mexican taco" is not necessarily redundant.  It could be used to distinguish an authentic Mexican style taco from an Americanized taco.  
I do not see how the proprietor of a taqueria having a stereotypical Mexican or Hispanic name adds redundancy.
If Pepe's Mexican Taqueria is still in business, this image could be construed as an advertisement for the business, especially since it contains a telephone number. 
For multiply redundant phrases, I personally prefer when a leading newspaper referred to a "deliberately set arson fire."

Interesting article, it seems that my ancestors came from this area .

I'm editing the history of the city after the Almoravid invasions. According to extant sources, most prominently the Kitab al-Istibar and Ibn Battuta's Rihla, Sijilmassa maintained its prominence as a trans-Saharan entrepot for quite some time after the Almoravid's second sacking of the city. In fact, according to Boone and Benco's "Islamic Settlement in North Africa...", the Almoravids oversaw a transition from an agrarian based economy to a wealth-based economy centered around the gold trade coming through the Sahara.
In sum, Sijilmassa got much, much bigger. I'm currently doing my thesis on religious change in the city, so when I get a chance, I am going to heavily modify this article.

message: Why is the emphasis on "Goods"? The term luxury GOODS is deceptive because the article discusses several aspects that are not goods. For example, the article already has a section on luxury BRANDS (which are symbols, not physical goods), luxury SHOPPING DISTRICTS (regions), and luxury DEPARTMENT STORES (which are spaces, not products). I added a reference that talks about luxury EXPERIENCES (also not goods). Furthermore, the definition is luxury in general.

Specifically the link on that article to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCsISjkXvKI
What is Denis Leary thinking? He is an intelligent guy but the comments he makes on this issue are so easily proved to be false that the comedian has become the joke. I mean, it is almost as if he is trying to make himself look stupid. If he is going to defend the original conspiracy theory, fine. But Denis, please, do it more intelligently and stop making yourself look like a fool. I enjoy your comedy and Rescue me - please stop making yourself look like an idiot.
Should not his outspoken co-star and friend on 'Rescue Me', Daniel Sunjata, point out the obvious floors in Leary's child-like commentry on the reason WTC7 collapsed?
I do not knock Leary for having his opinion, but I have seen kids state what he has stated and far better. Leary appears like he doesn't care about sounding like a fool in his explaining. Blatent mistake sin his reasoning and descriptions.

message: Sepahbod and Sepahsalar are the correct phonetic transcription for the Persian  words! In Iran you will hear a distinct "e" , pronounced as in the English word "error"! Turkish native speakers may be inclined to pronounce the words typically: "Sipehbod" and "Sipehseler", in adherence to Turkish pronunciation.
To Iranians of pre-revolutionary generations, SEPAHBOD is often affiliated with Sepahbod Zahedi (General Fazlollah Zahedi), after whom numerous streets had been named, in commemoration of his coup against Mossadeq's government in 1953. Sepahbod implies "Major General" in modern Persian language usage! One must note in general that a Persian speaker will not pronounce two consonants following each other, in the Arabic script applied, without an applicable vowel in between.
