Thousands of these technical terms are very【C5】______ included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather【C6】______ the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
Different occupations, however, differ【C7】______ in their special vocabularies. It【C8】______ largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have【C9】______ themselves into the very fiber of our language.【C10】______ , though highly technical in many details, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally【C11】______ , than most other technical terms.【C12】______ every vocation still possesses a large 【C13】______ of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even 【C14】______ educated people. And the proportion has been much【C15】______ in the last fifty years. Most of the newly【C16】______ terms are【C17】______to special discussion, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once【C18】______ , a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody【C19】______ with modern view and recent discoveries. Any important experiment,【C20】______ made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it.
