Jargons. Traditionally jargon is defined as the language difficult to understand, because it has a bad form or spoken badly. Sometimes jargon may stand for the language which is full of technical or special words. The vocabularies of jargon are the words existing in the language but which have acquired new meanings: there are the jargon of thieves, of jazz people, of the army, of sportsmen, etc. People who are far from that profession may not understand this jargon. Here are some examples: grease (money), loaf (head). Here are some illustrations from student's jargon: a lexer (a student preparing for a law course), exam (examination), math (mathematics), trig (trigonometry), ec (economics), prof (professor); military jargon: a big gun (an important person), GI (Government Issue — a label of American soldiers), a sewing machine (a machine-gun), an egg (an inexperienced aviator, pilot). [15, 128]
The following jargon words are often used in spoken language: He's a big shot (he is an important person), He's a fly boy (a dodger, a cunning person, an old fox), what a dull dog! (an inexperienced person). If I buckle down, I can learn it (If I mobilize all my efforts, I can learn it); If you offered me the job, I'd jump at it (If you offered me the job, I would accept it immediately); It gives me аbuzz(It gives me a feeling of excitement); Give me a buzz (telephone me).
Many of jargon words are based on the use of the transferred meanings of words: He was a great gas (talked too much without saying anything useful or interesting). Don't be such a drip (Don't be such a'dull, insipid person). I'll brain you (I'll break your head); to put on a bag (to kill).
Professional words are such words which are used in certain spheres of human activity. But these words name this profession indirectly. Here are some illustrations of professional words which are used in mining industry: picks parts of the mining device (tool); remote, a distant drift; gathering-chain, a special type of the conveyor. They belong to non-literary layer of the language. These are other illustrations: a tin-fish (submarine), a lin-hat (helmet), spurks (a radio-operator), outer (a knockoui blow), right-hander (upright).
The function of professionalisms may be different: to characterize the speech of a person, to make the description more precise and realistic. Here are some illustrations of professional words from medicine: heart man (a cardiologist), ice-box(morgue, mortuary), red ink (blood), epitaph bound (seriously ill), death-a-cold (a bad cold), feed-bag (stomach), perhaps list (the list of patients), ten bones (fingers), jumping powder (stimulator), and med school (medical college).
