Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to designate things or process which have no names in ordinary English, and partly to cure greater exactness in nomenclature. Such special dialects, or jargons, are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees of the particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of the technical terms are very properly in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like f
arming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themlves into the very fibre of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, the vocabularies are more familiar in sound; and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law. medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons,and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still posss a large body of technical terms that remain esntially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much incread in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have rved their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions, and ldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a clo guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associates freely with his fellow-creatures,
and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the ca of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace. (417 words)
