that are meaningless outside of a certain context.

people who are outside the particular profession may or may not have any idea about the
technical vocabulary of the particular profession.

function of allowing its users to talk precisely about technical issues in a given field. It has been
especially defined in relationship to a specific activity, profession, or group.
In other words, the term covers the language used by people who work in a particular area or
who have a common interest.

and euphemisms. In constrast with plain English.
Much like slang it develops as a kind of short-hand, to quickly express ideas that are frequently
discussed between members of a group. In many cases a standard term may be given a more
precise or unique usage among practitioners of a field. I

language of the field.
