3. Jargons
Definition:
• A Jargon is characteristic language/terminology of particular
group, profession or events.
• Technical Words
Meaning:
• French word - “chatter of birds”
• Jargonaut - one who studies jargons

4. Who uses Jargons?
• Used commonly by groups having similiar interests
• Technical Language
• used by people in sports, casual groups, law, medicine,etc.
Example:
Electrical Jargons:
- Circuit breaker
- Chasing (cutting a slot or groove to install cables into a solid wall)
- Capping

5. Examples
• Medical Field:
-Tachycardia ( Fast heart rate)
-Ischaemic heart disease (Coronary artery disease)
• Science:
- Heavy Metals ( Toxic Metal)
- Binomial Nomenculture : Azadirachta indica (Neem)
- Chemical Nomenculture : CH2O2 ( Formic acid)
• Sports:
- Hat trick ( 3 goals/wickets in successive balls)
- Nut meg-ged ( passing ball through the opponent legs and run pass him)

6. • Advantage:
- Allows easier understanding and communication between person of same
field - topics - ideas - concepts
- Universal
• Disadvantage:
- Difficult to common audience to understand
- Can misleading the meaning from original context
- May discourage due to their complexity
- Exclude expert of Field A to understand concepts in field B.
- Reduce chances of inovation

7. Ambiguity
Definition:
• Ambiguity can be defined as the word, phrase or sentence that has
more than one meaning or interpretation.
Types:
• basic types of ambiguity are:
- Structural Ambiguity
- Lexical Ambiguity

8. Structural Ambiguity
• Structural Ambiguity refers to a suituiation in which a sentence or
sequence of words may have different meanings
• because the words of a sentence are related to each other in various
ways, even though each word is clear.
• Also called syntactic ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity

9. Example:
• Simple Example - “Raimi bumped into a man with an umbrella”
Possible understandings:
1. Raimi had an umbrella and he bumped into a man.
2. Raimi bumped into a man when he happened to be carrying an
umbrella.
• Example - “Employing a straight platinum wire rabbit, blood agar plates were
inoculated with bacteria”
1. rabbit made by platinum wire is made to inoculate
-“Employing a straight platinum wire, rabbit blood agar plates were
inoculated with bacteria.

10. Lexical Ambiguity
• If a word has more than one interpretation, that particular word may
be ambiguous and unambiguous at the same time (depends on
situation)
Example:
• “Young” can be interpreted as young (age) or inexpert (green).
• “Bank” can also be interpreted as the slope side of a river or the
financial instituition.
• “Current” can denote electricity (current shock) or undergoing trend
(current trend)

11. Summary
• Research paper should be easy to read and follow.
• It should not contain ambiguity
• Ambiguity may mislead the readers to understand the concepts of the
research.
• Jorgans can be used only in the required placed.
• Abundant usage of jorgans make the research paper more complex
• Reduces innovative ideas.
