DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Garwood\, Science and Society unit\, University of Stra
 sbourg\, France\nMost scientists are too busy doing research to think much
  about the language they actually use in their work. However\, accompanyin
 g the rise of modern science since the 17th century has been an increasing
 ly specialized use of language\, with its own vocabulary\, grammar\, and s
 tructural organization. While this provides for clear and direct communica
 tion of scientific ideas and observations within the scientific community\
 , most people cannot read\, let alone understand it without a considerable
  period of learning. I will describe the characteristics of this language 
 of science and why it may be causing misunderstandings about science among
  the non-specialists (i.e. everyone else).\n
