4.1.4 Grammar-required redundancy<br />

Fourth, the enclitic constructions mentioned <strong>in</strong> Section 4.1.1 usually entail<br />

the <strong>in</strong>clusion <strong>of</strong> a redundant syntactic element, like the pronoun ‘se’ <strong>in</strong> the<br />

Spanish sentence ‘Díselo al médico’. This a personal pronoun, which<br />

coreferences the nom<strong>in</strong>al phrase ‘al médico’ and is, thus, redundant.<br />

Nevertheless, remov<strong>in</strong>g this pronoun would produce a wrong (that is,<br />

ungrammatical) sentence. So a coreference mechanism has to be allowed <strong>in</strong><br />

order to tag this type <strong>of</strong> redundancies. This can be done also follow<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

same mechanism used <strong>in</strong> Example 1 and 2, as shown <strong>in</strong> Example 3. The<br />

annotation associated to redundancy has been highlighted for convenience.<br />

The example only <strong>in</strong>cludes the section for term<strong>in</strong>als for the sake <strong>of</strong> space.<br />
