Professionalisms are usually generally understood and are commonly used within a particular specialty.
In legal documents, archaic bureaucracy should not be used. Many new professionalisms are out of place in them, especially in those cases when an idea can be expressed in words of general literary use or with the help of legalized terms.¹⁰
When considering synonyms, it must be remembered that errors in their use often occur because a polysemantic word can be synonymous with another in only one of its meanings. For example, the word request (запрос), which is typical for legal texts, is synonymous in one of the meanings with the word demand (требование) (обязательно в форме множественного числа): demands (запросы) / demands (требования) of buyers. At the same time, it does not have the meaning inherent in the word demands (требования) – норма, порядок, которым кто - что-либо должно соответствовать.¹¹
One common flaw in official style is tautology. This is the repetition of single-root words within the same phrase. This stylistic error makes the legal text heavy and difficult to understand.
Comparison of legal, scientific, journalistic (newspaper) and literary texts allows us to highlight some of the grammatical features of the legal sub-style of the official business style.
1. The predominant use of simple sentences (as a rule, narrative, personal, common, complete). Interrogative and exclamatory sentences are practically non-existent.
Of the complex sentences, non-union and complex sentences with subordinate explanatory, attributive, conditional, causes and goals are more common. The wide use of constructions with denominative prepositions makes it possible to avoid the use of complex sentences with subordinate clauses of cause, purpose, conditional. The subordinate parts of place and time are generally of little use.
2. The use of sentences with a large number of words, due to:
1) the prevalence of sentences, very frequent, for example, constructions with sequential subordination of the same type of case forms;
2. an abundance of sentences with homogeneous members (their number, even in linearly written phrases, can reach twenty or more).
