This document discusses how language is used differently across academic disciplines. It provides examples of words that have different meanings depending on the field, such as "account" meaning a company for call center agents but money for accountants, and "table" meaning furniture for receptionists but data for statisticians. The document also includes a quiz where students must match topics to the appropriate reference material in which to find information on that topic, such as matching food preservation techniques to "Home Economics" or diesel engines to "Mechanical Engineering".
