Legal English is known as a complex language system characterized by the use of formal terminology, complex syntax and a complicated style of writing. However, over the last 40 years legal English has been undergoing reforms which were initiated by the proponents of the Plain English Campaign. The main goal of this movement has been to simplify legal language, in particular the language of legal acts, for the purpose of making it equally comprehensible to both legal experts and ordinary citizens. This paper gives a brief overview of the most significant reforms that have taken place in the sphere of verb phrase focusing on the „deletion“ of the modal shall and the reduction of passive sentences, which are nowadays considered widely recognized rules in the drafting of not only British but also legal acts of all the English-speaking jurisdictions. Keywords: Plain English Campaign, verb phrase, legal acts, reform, shall, passive voice

The paper treats the Arabic love poetry and its main features in the pre-Islamic and Umayyad period. The formation, development and characteristics of this poetry are closely related to the nature of the poet, as well as the place of its origin. Based on this, we distinguish between urban and desert ghazals. From the point of stylistic peculiarities, as well as the poet‘s commitment to the aim of his poetry, urban ghazals are equalled with hedonistic and desert ghazals with uzrit or Platonic ghazals. The origins date back to the early periods and the beginning of the Arabic literary tradition. And the oldest poems that we have today begin with an introductory love prologue, which had a significant place at the very beginning of the pre-Islamic kasidah and was a prelude to further poet’s singing. The love poem was transferred to the Umayyad period, but in a new form and with new linguistic-stylistic peculiarities, and also, the Umayyad epoch was the period of independence of ghazals as an independent poetic genre. This has put the ghazal in a rightful place in Arabic literature and in the future it will very rarely have the role from the period of a pre-Islamic kasidah, when it was only one sequence in the poet‘s singing. Keywords: ghazal, love poetry, kasidah, hedonistic ghazal, platonic love

U ovom radu, kao za karakteristican primer iz hemijske kinetike, za reakciju prvog reda, sistem složenih hemijskih jednacina matematickim transformacijama sveden je na sistem homogenih i nehomogenih diferencijalnih jednacina prvog i drugog reda, koje su pogodne za predstavljanje preko elektricne analogije. Nakon toga, posmatrana su elektricna kola sa rednom i paralelnom vezom u kojima su prisutne sve tri karakteristicne otpornosti i to sa i bez strujnog izvora. Primenom Kirhofovih zakona, izvedene su pogodne diferencijalne jednacine u zavisnosti od naelektrisanja, napona i jacine struje, a koje predstavljaju opsti model za uspostavljanje analogije sa ranije izvedenim slicnim hemijskim jednacinama za određivanje koncentracije jedinjenja, u kojima su ukljucene i konstante brzine reakcije. Na kraju, na primeru jedne od karakteristicnih izvedenih elektricnih relacija u diferencijalnom obliku, dat je tabelarni prikaz analogije između elektricnih i velicina koje figurisu u hemijskim jednacinama, kao i neke mogucnosti primene prikazanih analogija.
