About This Resource
This C1 resource develops editing strategies for reducing repetition without sacrificing reference, emphasis, parallelism, or accountability. It distinguishes repetition that serves a discourse function from repetition that adds no useful information and explores pronouns, substitution, restructuring, and lexical choices as alternatives.
What You’ll Learn
• Distinguish purposeful repetition from repetition that adds no useful function.
• Use pronouns, substitution, restructuring, and lexical variation without weakening reference.
• Retain repeated wording when it supports contrast, parallelism, or explicit responsibility.
• Edit for economy while preserving the information readers need to track the text.
