Ch. P Application
§. Phonemes omitted
Redundancy

Instruments of abbreviation. 1. Name 2 Definition 3. Employment of

§. Phonemes omitted

Redundancy in
English law language

Whoever has compared with blank of the law language
of the ordinances of any other nation than of the
English must have observed how disadvantageous the
contrast is to the English

One of the most striking p is the deluge
of words with which on every occasion the sense is showered

5
Example in pro
from prohibitive
clauses

Of the occasion examples are as follows

1. Wording of the prohibitive clause or phrase

If any person or persons instead of saying simply if
any person. surplus surplusage the words or persons. What on
this occasion any one will understand is that if all persons
are prohibited separately all persons are prohibited collectively.
This is but the commencement of a train of surplusage:
for along in the train with person or persons comes the he, she or
they — a train of pronouns repeated in most cases

6
Formularies in
Const. Code

The formularies in the Code employed for the occasion on this occasion
are such as presented themselves as being at the same time in function
to every body and clear of surplusage.

7
Difficulties in the
subject

But the matter is by no means clear of difficulties,
and the solution of these difficulties is at the
the most extensively useful beneficent and thence the most
dignified one: but the art and science of the grammarian
can be employed.
