El llenguatge administratiu i jurídic: la necessitat d'un nou pas endavant

Resum

The end of the Franco regime paved the way for the restoration of democracy and home rule. This meant that Catalan was once again granted official status and that administrative and legal language, which under the Franco regime, had become another form of expression for the regime, was modernized. The model set up 25 years ago achieved a wide degree of acceptance and today no vestiges of the old administrative and legal language remain. The ongoing evolution of society, however, makes continuing reflection a must. Reflection is necessary to avoid falling into routines that may lead to a new gap between administrative and legal language and present-day social and linguistic reality.
