The Small Decoder

the Small Decoder is a “dictionary” which counts and deciphers 3000 words and expressions employed by the administration S and which is sometimes incomprehensible for the “general public”.

It was officially presented the February 17th 2005 by the Secretary of State to the reform of the State, Eric Woerth, in the presence of Bernard Pivot and of the singer Yves Duteil. It is about the version “general public” of a administrative Lexique distributed to the spring 2002 with the agents of the administrations and which is the result of a co-operation between the Dictionnaire the Robert and the committee of orientation for the simplification of the administrative language. It is distributed by the editions the Robert.

A great part of the words quoted in this work (long lease, irrefragable, chirographary, etc) are legal terms concerned with the Law the labor and of the right penal Civil or . Another part relates to words or expressions, present in the general language dictionaries, frequently used by the administrative services of all kinds (notwithstanding, to take the fastener of, etc). These words are often those of other professions (notary S, lawyer S, Géomètre S etc) that these services use when that is necessary so that they are made include/understand.

Let us not forget either that it is also about a communication product intended to show the concern which the administration has the government to bring closer to the public.
