Plain English Movement

I’m going to discuss two theoretical doctrines of interpretation’s limits, which are based on specific methods of “original intent” and “living document” constitutional interpretation. The first of them, original intent, maintains that in interpreting a text, a court should determine what the authors of the text were trying to achieve, and to give effect to what they intended the statute to accomplish, the actual text of the legislation notwithstanding. Obviously, the defined method of explanation is undoubtedly good, as allows answering not only on a question, what sense has been enclosed in the given norm but also to what the legislator really aspired, accepting it. In this case work of the lawyer, the judge should remind work of the professional-restorer which by the most careful studying of the source, analogues, an epoch, time, techniques of the letter etc. restores the original. For all that I can’t agree with this idea because there can be the situation when the judge is beyond the maintenance of the source text and gives his own view of the legislator’s intentions. It goes without saying, explanation does not bring and cannot bring additions and changes in effective law standards. It urged only to explain and specify what is formulated in a norm, to open a legal will of the legislator. Naturally, standard interpretation cannot be found out in a separation from surrounding conditions, but it should not mean at all, that during the

Communication is one of the main things humans do in their day to day activities. Scholars define communication as an act of exchanging information between one another and understanding the meaning of it (Semenescu, 2016). The four mains types of communication are written, verbal, non-verbal and visual. Humans communicate to establish relationship, build foundation for planning, socializing in general and motivating each other. Communication can vary in different settings. For example in personal context, communication style used is more relaxed, which means that informal language is used. However, in a professional context, communication style used in more focused on workplace. Therefore, the language used is more formal so as to show respect

It was mainly formed depending on the rules that English is made up of a particular subject that explains the presence of the structure and features of the language involved. The analysis that was given in this phase was that the features of the language were the same in the sentence grammar without a tendency to favor particular forms. The theory, however, did not explain any forms that were in existence in simple English. It is precarious to make bias perception concerning the matter, although there existed interest in the nature of the English language theoretically by itself. The most important reason for this urge was to make the available skills more relevant to learners. It was also aimed at providing learners with outline form that gives the priority in science studies and forego other forms that they might not have come across in their lifetime. It further shows that ESP course should give more importance to these

Plain English is simple, straightforward, easily understood English, in other words the opposite of the English used by lawyers which uses long words, out-of-date words, technical words and Latin words.

In the “Hallmark of Effect Writing” workshop, we find that writing must be effect and for it to be effective it must be clear, concise, correct and be directed properly to its intended audience. (Hood,2011) I find that when I read case law I get a clearer picture of facts that are presented to a judge or to other legal professionals. I also get a clearer picture as to how our laws are originated through the congressional book Documents illustrative of the formation of the union of the American States (G.P.O.,1927). In this book one of the parts I liked when I first started reading was;

As mentioned by Marty Blalock in the Wisconsin Business Alumni website, “communication in a business organization provides the critical link between core functions” and that makes ineffective communication very expensive for any business”.

Plain English is a form of English that is clear, concise, direct, and natural. Plain English is a style of language that should be used in user manuals, legal documents, articles and speeches.

Good Communication in an organizations is being able to transmit effective and efficient information to subordinates so, that they can interpret the information and be more productive. Rhetorical norms do affect good communication between employees because of misinterpretation of the message being transmitted. Also, unwritten rules have great impact on an individual level of job satisfaction, and career opportunities. Many employees break unwritten rules just for the reason that they are unwritten, therefore there is no serious penalty for breaking the rule unlike the written ones.

Social movements are organized attempts, or efforts to bring change in the established institutions in a society based on common interest and goals. Social movements are very crucial to everyone since it has the power to bring change which affect people’s lives. For instance, the abortion-rights movement is a significant issue today. Everywhere in the media, you will find people debating whether women should have legal access to obtain abortions in the United States. I believe this movement is a problem that everyone has put their mind to. Everyone on Facebook often expresses their opinion about this movement, some agree that it should become legalized while others oppose to this idea because it is against their religious beliefs.

Statutory and constitutional analyses are imperative in many different ways. However, some elements pertaining to legal philosophy are more significant than others.

A number of students also tried to make the contention that Standard English was not necessary, without appreciating the irony they were discussing the topic using Standard English. Standardisation and codification were often not well understood. Few students explored the importance of orthography and grammar in maintaining a Standard English and why these combine to create a variety of English that is understood by most of the population.
