From an information theoretical point of view, redundancy is the use of more signs for conveying some amount of information than would be absolutely necessary. Natural language codes are also characterised by extensive redundancy. In this paper, the authoress attempts to describe redundant grammatical phenomena at the syntactic level, from among the various structural representations containing linguistic information. In systematizing her collected data, she intends to find out how redundancy affects the reception of a text: whether 'superfluous signs' facilitate comprehension or, quite on the contrary, they pose difficulties for the decoding process. With respect to grammatically redundant phenomena, the authoress confronts 'official' statements by specialists of language care with actual empirical data. She elicited grammaticality judgements on 30 pairs of sentences in a questionnaire from 30 university students studying in Budapest, in order to get acquainted with their individual views on usage in connection with the phenomenon at hand.
