Sammenlign den sproglige stil I nedenstående tekster med hensyn til ordvalg og sætningsopbygning.

Besvarelse:

I tekst nummer et bliver der brugt et meget uformelt sprog, hvilket gør det nemt for læseren at læse og bruger for det meste hverdags ord som f.eks. ¨Ask family members to submit their own ideas for fun activities and projects that interest everyone and are do-able in just a few hours.¨ Sætningerne i tekst 1 er også markant kortere end i tekst 2, hvilket gør det nemmere for læseren at forstå. I tekst nummer to er sproget meget mere formelt, hvilket gør teksten sværere at forstå for den gennemsnitslige læser. Sætningerne er også længere, og ordforrådet er sværere end i tekst 1. Dette kan ses i denne sætning: ¨Of the manner of passing evenings at home, there is none pleasanter than in such recreative enjoyments as thos which relax the mind from its severer duties. ¨
