It's the epitome of wooden language.
Your example is very good for proving my point; the expression "without content" talks about what? about the content? So you would say "content without content" to speak about a text that does not have substantial content?
- KineticLensman 6y ago> It's the epitome of wooden language Exactly. See the comment elsewhere about Orwell's 1984. In which Newspeak [0] is "a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual's ability to think and articulate "subversive" concepts such as personal identity, self-expression and free will" [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak
