Its an Asian trait and a cultural thing. In Nepal and India normal talks and even letters have the same structure than what I detected about the Pali Canon. Repeating a sentence is very common in local languages and dialects...often up to three times. This makes it also difficult for students who learn to write English letters. Teachers have their hands full to explain, that their thoughts translated into English is making their letters funny and difficult to read.

A talk example from ordinary daily life here:

(Directly translation from Nepali) "I received a letter from our chairman this morning. This is what the letter says and that is why I read it out to you now.Our chairman proposes that we postpone this meeting...therefore I give to you all the message that the chairman said that he proposes to postpone this meeting. So this meeting is postponed. Thank you kindly for listening!"
(imagine a western journalist who speaks our language has to attend Nepalese Community meeting to write an article about the issue. It takes hours till he knows the result and the decisions )

Overseers are a bit blunter when they instruct their laborers at the start of the working day. They say for example: "Today our aim is to finish the walls.So herewith you know...today we will finish the walls".

If a person with authority would say:"Today our aim is to finish the walls! and then would say: "O.K. lets do it!" the workers would automatically assume that there is time enough to loiter and the work would not be finish in the evening...simply because he did not repeat it to make it clear that it has to be completed today.

If I compare this now with the technique of the Pali Canon then it tells me that the teacher want the students see that there is no time to waste ...not starting to do this an other day or a month later but once said, the practice starts right away.
