[[Redundancy]] rules have two important properties: (a) they do not create structure, and (b) they do not alter structure.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> the fact that sonorants in English are always voiced, as opposed to obstruents, can be captured by leaving the feature [voice] unspecified, and fill in [+voice] by a redundancy rule. The idea behind redundancy rules and [[underspecification]] is that redundant information can be left unspecified in the grammar (usually the lexicon), and that a grammar which contains less (idiosyncratic) information is more highly valued than a grammar which contains more (every thing else being the same).<br /> <br /> === Links ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Redundancy+rule&amp;lemmacode=320 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Archangeli, D. 1984.
