E.g., colloquial words do not occur in written legal texts. 2.1.1 Consistency and Frequency Look at the following passage. What linguistic feature prevails in the text and its effect? We are now looking at another process. The heated plastics material is extruded through a die in the form of threads. The threads are now drawn through a bath, to cool them.
