Social differentiation of language by profession

Abstract

One of the main directions of social differentiation of language is the language peculiarities of people related to the different professions. Any profession has its specific vocabulary. It should be noted that the development of the professional vocabulary in all languages of the world does not manifest itself in the same form. Professional vocabulary in the developed societies is richer. The main purpose of the research is to identify the basic features of the language differentiation by profession. Professional vocabulary is the basis of the language differentiation by profession. There are quite a lot of contentious issues here. The main moot point is connected with their comparison and identification. The points that are worthy of attention can be shown in the following directions: professional vocabulary and jargons, professional vocabulary and dialect words, professional vocabulary and terms. The social professional differentiation of language differs from the other language differentiations in many features. The intensive development of professional languages, formation of the new vocabulary due to the emergence of new professions can be considered the main distinctive features. As for the language levels, there are also differences at the syntactic level, from the standpoint of formation of components of text, except the lexical level.
