10/25/23, 5:09 PM SLC sheds light on common linguistic errors
light on the challenges impeding legislative processes and propose solutions to address them. This
awareness workshop aligns perfectly with our ongoing efforts to underscore the relevance of

linguistic precision and clarity in legislative provisions. By doing so, we aim to improve
understanding of the legislative intent imparted within the text, ensure proper implementation of
legislative provisions and regulatory frameworks, and ultimately promote compliance with the

legislation.”

During the workshop, Al-Ahmad emphasised the correlation between linguistic precision and the

clarity of legislative provisions. He emphasised the importance of mastering the Arabic language
skills to elevate the quality of linguistic expression, thereby preventing language errors in legislative
provisions. Furthermore, Al-Ahmad elucidated how language errors may introduce ambiguity in the

comprehension of judgments and legal provisions and raise the risks of misinterpreting legislative
provisions, which in turn increases the possibility of errors in implementation.

Al Ahmad further highlighted the intricate relationship between language and legislation. He pointed
out that language serves as an essential tool for legislators to articulate their perspectives and

ideas, and that legislators must attain a high level of proficiency to prevent ambiguity in legislative
provisions. Moreover, Al Ahmad presented and discussed several common errors and explained
strategies to avoid these and improve the quality of legislative drafting.
