Lexical compression
The second type of compression implies the use of ‘fewer words to express the
same idea.’ (Chernov 2004: 115). However, can we really consider a strategy aimed
at expressing a concept with fewer words as a ‘labour saving’ one? Wouldn’t the
opposite actually be true? Those who have some experience in editing or in the
news sector will know that expressing a concept with as few words as possible is in
fact a very complex art. It is rather doubtful that such an approach could actually
reduce effort in interpreting; in fact, if anything, it may very well increase it.
