摘　　要：平易语言是一种根据交际对象的语言实际而有针对性地调整语言使用的交际策略及结果,在政府组织机构面向民间进行有效沟通交流时具有重要意义。对公民权利的尊重和开放透明政府建设的追求是国际平易语言运动产生和发展的推动力。通过回顾国际平易语言运动在政务领域的产生背景及发展进程,在简介此前业界有关平易语言优劣争议及认定的基础上,从侧重动态过程还是静态产品、关注交际对象还是交际文本等不同维度对平易语言的界定及其属性进行了新的阐释。结合平易语言运动的终极目标和政民互动交流方式手段的变化,建议:关注平易语言的施用场景,做到有的放矢;完善平易语言的创作标准,优化评价指标;重视平易语言的组织实践,推动体制保障。Adopting plain language is a practical communication strategy in which speakers/writers adjust their language use to accommodate the literacy of the communication partners.It plays a vital part in optimizing the top-down communication be-tween the governments and the public.In the international plain language movements,the respect for civil rights and the build-ing of an open and transparent government are the driving forces that shape the agenda of plain language promotion.Drawing on the previous disputes over the defi nition and the merits and demerits of plain language,this paper reviews the background and history of the international plain language movement in public aff airs and elaborates on the attributes of plain language from diverse perspectives such as dynamic processes,static texts and communication partners.With reference to the ultimate goal of the plain language movement and the changes in the means of government-citizen interaction,some suggestions are proposed in this paper,including employing plain language for the targeted audience,improving the writing standard and assess-ment parameters for the language,and establishing institutional systems to ensure the use of plain language in practice.
