Do you think language and in particular terminologies impede the sharing of information, and more importantly how can we overcome that?

Being a person that is inherently interested in everything – I find the interdisciplinary glossary gap fairly annoying and trivial in the academic environment. Although I am interested in the contributions to knowledge in a direction from different fields. Too much energy and time is spent learning new words for concepts shared between disciplines rather than learning their contributions alone.

Of course one could potential solve that by allowing senior students to skip generic introductions and get straight to the contributions of a specific field.

In this specific examination – do you think the mediation through language and specific ‘jargon’-based terminology impedes or mediates knowledge better?

In other words, if concepts were described in plain language or an alternative that did not require prior memorization of an example discipline’s ‘style’ would it be more beneficial?
