in

the

character

of

their

special

vocabularies.

in

trades

and

handicrafts,

and

other

vocations,

like

farming

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

themselves

into

the

very

fibre

of

our

language.

hence,

though

highly

technical

in

many

particulars,

these

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

possesses

a

large

body

of

technical

terms

that

remain

essentially

foreign,

even

to

educated

speech.

and

the

proportion

has

been

much

increased

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

served

their

turn.

most

of

the

new

coinages

are

confined

to

special

discussions,

and

seldom

get

into

general

literature

or

conversation.

yet

no

profession

is

nowadays,

as

all

professions

once

were,

a

close

guild.

the

lawyer,

the

physician,

the

man

of

science,

the

divine,

associated

freely

with

his

fellow- creatures,

and

does

not

meet

them

in

a

merely

professional

way.

furthermore,

what

is

called

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

case

of

the

roentgen

rays

and

wireless

telegraphy.

thus

our

common

speech

is

always

taking

up

new

technical

terms

and

making

them

commonplace.

11.

special

words

used

in

technical

discussion

____.

a.

never

last

long

b.

are

considered

artificial

language

speech

c.

should

be

confined

to

scientific

fields

d.

may

become

part

of

common

speech

12.

it

is

true

that

____.

a.

an

educated

person

would

be

expected

to

know

most

technical

terms

b.

everyone

is

interested

in

scientific

findings

c.

the

average

man

often

uses

in

his

own

vocabulary

what

was

once

technical

language

not

meant

for

him

d.

various

professions

and

occupations

often

interchange

their

dialects

and

jargons

13.

in

recent

years,

there

has

been

a

marked

increase

in

the

number

of

technical

terms

in

the

terminology

of
