This paper examines direct speech introduced by two or more verbs of speech in selected works by Gregory of Tours (sixth century). It describes combinations of verbs in the reporting clause and shows that the classification of an instance as redundant cannot rely only on the co-occurrence of two verbs of speech in the reporting clause, but that it is necessary to consider the meaning of these verbs, other expressions found in the reporting clause, the context, and the meaning of the reported clause. The article asserts that the redundancy of double introduction is not binary but scalar and outlines a classification of redundancy in five categories. Finally, it discusses the motivations for the use of double introduction in Gregory of Tours’ texts.

本文考察了在图尔的格雷戈里（公元 6 世纪）的精选作品中由两个或多个动词引入的直接引语。它描述了报告从句中动词的组合，并表明将一个实例归类为冗余不能仅依赖于报告从句中两个动词的共现，而是需要考虑这些动词的含义，报告条款中的其他表述、报告条款的上下文和含义。文章断言双重引入的冗余不是二元的，而是标量的，并概述了五类冗余的分类。最后，讨论了在图尔的格雷戈里文本中使用双重介绍的动机。
