&#62; The russian language has a special term set aside for this kind of round-about linguistic constructionism – "fish language". It's like the English "legalese", but with no relation to lawyers specifically.<p>You talking about "Канцелярит" (kantceliaryt?). "Канцелярия" means "office". Suffix "ит" here means language or disease. So "канцелярит" means "official language/disease". See <a href="http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82" rel="nofollow">http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B5%...</a> <a href="http://zhivoeslovo.ru/content/view/85/143/" rel="nofollow">http://zhivoeslovo.ru/content/view/85/143/</a><p>"Fish" (рыба) - is template or form: you need just to fill gaps between prewritten sentences. It looks like "fish bones".
