Consequently with what was said in the previous post, now, it is going to to be paraphrased a bit more of what Maria Teresa, an English professor at the University of Carabobo, Venezuela, talks about in Chapter two of her book. Let us know about Complexity and Conciseness.
Complexity is understood as the combined possibilities of a sentence to be constructed. For example: An academic writing commonly has got complex words, sentences, and vocabulary; thus, it uses subordinate clauses, relative clauses, infinite clauses, non-finite clauses, verbless clauses, compound clauses, nominal clauses, adverbial clauses, and more nominalization. Remember (phrases are not allowed).
Conciseness, accoding to Váquez (2011), “means brevity and completeness.” This is to say that everything has a role and we should know how to eliminate unnecessary data.
Taking into Consideration the strategies proposed by (Darling and the Capital Community College Foundation 2004; Hacker and Van Goor 1994; and the Purdue Online Writing Lab (2006) cited in Vázquez 2011), they are presented in the conceptual-mapping below:
