A tautophrase is a phrase or sentence that repeats an idea in the same words. The name was coined by William Safire in ''The New York Times''. Examples include: * "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" (John Wayne) * "It ain't over 'till it's over" (Yogi Berra) * "What's done is done." (Shakespeare's ''Macbeth'') * "I am that I am." (God, Exodus 3:14) * "Tomorrow is tomorrow" (Antigone (Sophocles)) * "A rose is a rose is a rose." (Gertrude Stein) * "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." (Sigmund Freud) * "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam!" (Popeye) * "Let bygones be bygones." * "Facts are facts." * "A deal is a deal is a deal." * "Once it's gone it's gone." * "It is what it is." * "Boys will be boys." * "A win is a win." * "You do you." * "''à la guerre comme à la guerre''" — A French phrase literally meaning "as at war as at war", and figuratively roughly equivalent to the English phrase "All's fair in love and war" * ''qué será, será'' or ''che será, será'' — grammatically incorrect English loan from the Italian, meaning "Whatever will be, will be." * "Call a spade a spade." ==See also== *Ploce (figure of speech) *Repetition (rhetorical device) *Tautology 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tautophrase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
