A user's guide to the Afrikaans language that focuses on writing and reading at word, sentence and text levels, especially but not exclusively when it comes to legal texts, with the aim of empowering non-specialist readers.

A checklist offers guidance to writers on which constructions to avoid and which constructions to use. Practical application examples demonstrate how complex constructions can be rewritten at different text levels to increase reading comprehension.

Eleanor Cornelius is Professor in the Department of Languages, Cultural Studies and Applied Linguistics at the University of Johannesburg, and a fully accredited simultaneous interpreter in two directions (English-Afrikaans; Afrikaans-English).
