A jargon is characteristic language used by a specific group or profession. It originates from Old French meaning "chatter of birds". Jargons are commonly used in trades, professions, sports and casual groups to give a sense of belonging, though they can also make outsiders feel excluded. Examples of jargons include binomial nomenclature used in biology to formally name species, and chemical nomenclature used by chemists to systematically name compounds without ambiguity. While corporate jargons like "24*7" and "CxO" are sometimes criticized for obscuring meaning, they can also create shared understanding among colleagues when used effectively.
Just like in writing, speaking requires certain communicative styles. In this presentation, quarter 1 module 3 of English 9 will be exemplified.
From frozen to casual communicative styles, we need to know them all in order to suit our speaking styles with the context we are in.

2. WHAT IS A JARGON?

particular group, profession or event.

from a conversation
• Jargons are addictive
5. BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
• Formal system of naming species of living things.
• It is a terminology that is used only by a group of people
who are into biological studies and therefore fall into jargon
category.
• The names are made of two parts.
• The first part of names are derived from mainly Latin
language.
• It can also be derived from Greek and other languages, name
of a person, place etc.
• The second part of the names may be an adjective or a noun.

• Set of rules to generate systematic names for chemical
compounds.
• Developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry (IUPAC).
• The chemical nomenclature is used to ensure that there is no
ambiguity in the name of a specific chemical compound and
refers to a single substance.
• The name also conveys some information about the structure
or chemistry of a compound, which helps in its
identification.

8. CORPORATE JARGONS
Corporate jargon is the jargon often used in
large corporations and other bureaucracies.
It may be characterised by sometimes-unwieldy
elaborations of common English phrases, acting to
conceal the real meaning of what is being said.
10. Do we really need corporate jargons?
“Although much maligned, jargon does have a place in the well-
spoken executive’s vocabulary when it is used effectively to
create a deeper level of understanding and trust.
Particular words and phrases can become unique shorthand
among colleagues within the same industry, company, or team.
The key is to use the right words for the right audience in an
environment that encourages others to press for clarity when
the language is unclear.”
- Gwen Morgan
(a famous Jargonaut)
