Here's why:
* Redundant: Meaning something that is unnecessary because it repeats something already said or implied.
* Emphasizes noun or pronoun: This means the word adds no new information but only highlights the noun or pronoun.
* Unnecessary to the meaning of the sentence: The sentence would still convey its meaning without the word.
Example:
* "I saw the car itself." "Itself" is redundant because "car" already refers to a specific car.
Other words that might be used in this context are:
* Superfluous
* Pleonastic
* Repetitive
