Abstract

The present research’s objective is the need to adopt Simple Language in the public sector and how it can benefit the population's relationship with institutions. The objective is to identify public sector initiatives to simplify the language used in legal documents and observe whether the public sector is concerned about the adequacy of simple language to improve its relationship with society. The methodology used included a bibliographical review to address the issue of legal language and its simplicity, also including a survey of public sector initiatives to demonstrate concern about the topic. The results demonstrate the public sector's concern with its relationship with society, with the existence of initiatives through the development of important projects at an advanced stage. The conclusion highlights that Simple Language still has a major challenge ahead in relation to simplifying communication. Furthermore, there is still a range of discussions, content and research that need to be carried out to develop the topic in the country.
