What’s New
From the previous lesson about the types of communicative styles that you have learned,
how do you understand the quotation stated in the box?
Some of you might have formed questions in your minds like “What is Jargon?” or “Wha t
makes Jargon important in a communication?”
Jargon is described as the use of common terms and phrases in a given circumstance,
occupation, or trade. Those specialized terms are used to convey accepted and understood
hidden meanings in that area. It is just vocabulary that is known by people within a certain
community. Most English words are a common part of everyday speech, understood by nearly
anyone who speaks the language. Jargon, though, is like a kind of slang for members of a
specific group of people, often containing terms that are useless outside of a given context.
