Discussion

Lekhika (asker) Jul 2, 2014:
Yes, I agree. That is a point I had missed. When you look at the expression '措置を講ずる' in that way, it gives more emphasis and depth to the point being discussed.
Marc Brunet Jul 2, 2014:
"Vb-Noun redundancy in '措置を講ずる' " did you say? There is none once you consider 講ずる as a much larger concept than 措置, i.e. 'putting a set of ideas together with a purpose in mind', be that: a lecture, a set of measures, a proposal, a programme, a strategic plan, etc...
Seen that way, 講ずる translates as 'framing up' and does need an object to be specified. Don't agree? :-)

講ずる(講じる) is verb and 措置 is noun.

Why the same thing?
Note from asker:
Thanks very much. As '措置' and '講ずる' mean the same thing, it seems kind of redundant, isn't it?
