Abstract

From 2020 to 2022, during the project Promoting Easy-to-Read for Social Inclusion,
three participating countries – Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovenia – worked on different Easy
language-related intellectual outputs useful not only for text creators but also for target
groups. Until this project, Easy language development in Latvia was only practice-based.
Now, the intralingual translations of Latvian folktales have created the study basis for the
syntactic analysis of Easy Latvian. In the analysis, the most important syntactic principles
of standard Latvian were compared to the principles used in Easy Latvian. These included
sentence classifications, syntactic centres, parts of sentence, cohesion and coordination, and
direct speech. The analysis has revealed that at the syntactic level Easy Latvian complies
with the grammatical rules and basic text creation principles of standard Latvian.
