Plain English in TAFE: The Whole Process.

Salter, Kathy

Open Letter, v2 n1 p59-69 1991

Misconceptions within Australian Technical and Further Education (TAFE) about Plain English (PE) are that PE involves sentence-by-sentence translation and simplification of the language and content of an existing text. Both misconceptions are refuted and PE is concluded to be basically about good communication. (Contains 12 references.) (LB)
