%X The functional integral of the massless Schwinger model in $(1+1)$ dimensions is reduced to an integral in terms of local gauge invariant quantities. It turns out that this approach leads to a natural bosonisation scheme, yielding, in particular the famous `bosonisation rule'' and giving some deeper insight into the nature of the bosonisation phenomenon. As an application, the chiral anomaly is calculated within this formulation.
