Negatives/. Psycholinguistic research suggests that complex negative linguistic constructions are difficult for the human mind to process, because readers/listeners must first grasp the positive meaning of a sentence before they can work out its opposite (Xxxxx-Xxxxxxx 1988). Multiple negatives in a sentence are considered particularly problematic in terms of comprehensibility and comprehension, because they function to cancel each other out - e.g. ‘he was not absent’ means ‘he was present’ (Xxxxxx et al 1981). Passives Passive constructions allow the writer to omit the ‘agent’ of a sentence altogether, thus obscuring responsibility for a given action. Passive sentences are a common feature of legal language and they tend to be longer and more syntactically complex than their ‘active’ equivalents, which are considered specific and direct - less complicated and more lively (Asprey 2003: 141). In their 1979 study, Xxxxxxx & Charrow found that the location rather than the type of passive used was significant, and that those occurring in subordinate clauses caused particular difficulties in terms of comprehensibility and comprehension. Complex phrases and embedding Legal documents often rely heavily on complex sentence structures as a means of ensuring precision and all-inclusiveness (Bhatia 1994), and yet features such as elaborate prepositional phrases, misplaced phrases and long, tortuous sentences containing ‘deep’ embeddings are known to cause comprehension difficulties. Subordinate clauses are part of another clause, and coordinate clauses are joined to another clause (or clauses) of the same status (Leech, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx 2006). In multiple embeddings, either (or both) appear within another main clause, causing wide separation of the Subject and main verb, and resulting in a verbose, convoluted sentence, containing a myriad of different ‘ideas’.

Negatives/. The ISC processing let create a range of components quickly and more efficiently in a non- autoclave environment, giving significant energy and material waste savings, and allowing more easily recyclable composite materials. This approach could help the great composites consumers companies, as AIRBUS, to reduce carbon footprint and the environmental impact, in compliance with current and future legislation.
