The volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various
forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a
superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive
for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other
way exists to establish a unit, and on a secondary, artistic level,
where repetition is a consequence of the transfer of the
equivalence principle.
