The article provides an in-depth analysis of the syntactic features of legal discourse and highlights the main factors that contribute to the complexity of legal texts through examples. It also discusses syntactic features commonly found in legal texts, such as long sentences, nominalization (i.e., expressing ideas through noun phrases), verbosity (the use of excessive words), and circumlocution (indirect expressions). In particular, the article explains how these elements reduce the clarity and comprehensibility of texts, making legal documents difficult to understand for the general public. In addition, the lack of punctuation is identified as another factor contributing to the complex syntactic structure of legal texts. The article also explores the syntactic differences between written and spoken legal discourse, highlighting phrases specific to spoken legal language and their communicative functions. Furthermore, the article examines the "Plain English Campaign" aimed at simplifying legal texts and evaluates its contribution to improving the overall comprehensibility of legal documents. It also sheds light on the frequent use of negation, as well as the separation of main and auxiliary verbs in different parts of the sentence, emphasizing the role of such syntactic structures in legal texts.
