11. 1. Complexity Academic writing tends to be more complicated and has longer words. The texts become more difficult to comprehend in terms of subject matter, language, arrangement of words, and grammar. The vocabulary used to express a high level of complexity is more advanced because it requires more formal words and the phrasing is more noun-based. Longer sentences containing clauses are important, and the passive voice is essential to establish the objective style desired in academic works.
