Jargon is used in a particular
context and may not be well
understood outside that
context. The context is
usually a particular
occupation (that is, a certain
trade, profession, or
academic field), but any in
group can have jargon. The
main trait that distinguishes
jargon from the rest of a
language is special
vocabulary—including some
words specific to it, and
often different senses or
meanings of words, that out
groups would tend to take in
another sense—therefore
misunderstanding that
communication attempt.
Jargon is thus "the technical
terminology or characteristic
idiom of a special activity or
group (Green, 1987)
