| - The plain style in literature, otherwise referred to as the 'low style', is the most common form of communication in the English language. It is a form of rhetoric which expresses a message very clearly to convey a direct meaning. The core values of the plain style in literature are "clarity, brevity and sincerity...". emphasising the dichotomous language forms and features between the plain style and the Baroque style, also referred to as the 'high style', in the English language. The plain style has been recorded in use from as early as the 17th century by playwright Ben Jonson. Since then, the style has developed and become more refined through pop culture and slang in order to form today's plain style which is mainly through oral forms of communication. Plain style is also evident through other forms of communication such as e-mail communication, captioning on social media and through text messages, however is not as prominent in modern written text. Many political campaigns also employ use of the plain style to convey a clear and concise message to the intended audience. Most people use the plain style through both written and oral modes of communication on a daily basis however are unaware of its status as a language form, particularly due to the simplicity and elegance of the mode.
