This research aims to describe how practicing lawyers perceive ‘plain writing’ in the legal field and to conceptualize this notion through the discourse analysis of these specialists. To do so, a qualitative research framed in the interpretive paradigm has been developed. Specifically, 18 practicing lawyers, from different countries and with different specializations in the practicing of Law, were surveyed. After analyzing the discourse of the interviewed lawyers, eight macro categories accounting for plain language both generally and particularly were identified. The audience was identified as a key element in the production of legal texts which facilitate justice to citizens. Based on our analysis, we conclude with a definition of plain writing.

法律领域的通俗写作：一种来自专家话语的方法

本研究旨在描述执业律师如何看待法律领域的“普通写作”，并通过这些专家的话语分析将这一概念概念化。为此，已经开发了以解释范式为框架的定性研究。具体而言，调查了来自不同国家、不同执业领域的 18 名执业律师。在分析受访律师的话语后，确定了八个宏观类别，包括一般性和特殊性的浅白语言。观众被认为是制作法律文本的关键因素，为公民伸张正义。根据我们的分析，我们得出了简单写作的定义。
