Notes

  1. One wonders how the heated debate on the omission of the definite article the in UN Security Council Resolution 242 of 22 November 1967 in the provision calling for “the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict” was conveyed in Chinese!

  2. Both conjunctions (and/or) are among the ten most frequently occurring words in prescriptive legal texts in English.

  3. The Finns are not alone in this regard!

  4. See Chap. 3 of its online booklet of 2006 ‘Plain Language and Legislation’ at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2006/02/17093804/3.
