Man coming definition

Man coming means the same as “A man is coming this way now.” The latter, which is more like ordinary English, is redundant; it indicates the singular number of the subject three times (by “a,” “man,” and “is”), the present tense twice (“is coming” and “now”), and the direction of action twice (“coming” and “this way”). Such repetitions of meaning, such internal ties between words, make it possible to easily replace “is,” “this,” “way,” or “now,” should any one of them be missed (Taylor, 1953, p. 418).
