In doing so, it provides informed guidelines and practical advice on how to communicate in clear and cross-translatable ways in Minimal English.

Paraphrase Using Simple, Easily Understood Words.
The NSM approach starts with two very simple ideas. The first idea is that if we want to explain words and their meanings, we have no choice but to do so using words themselves. As Hanks (2007: 6) put it: ‘There is no metalanguage other than words themselves (in one language or another) – or at a pinch derivatives of words such as logical symbols – for expressing thoughts about words’. The second idea is that, this being the case, we need to proceed very carefully to avoid the danger of getting ‘tangled up in words’. In particular, we need to ensure that our explana- tions (or explications) of word meanings are as clear as possible and that they are not undermined by definitional circularity (i.e. going around in ‘vicious circles’).
