Enjoy! Hello, this is 6 Minute English and I'm Yvonne Archer. And I'm William Kramer. Hello. Thanks for joining me, William. Now today we're going to do a bit of glossing, play in a few inserts and run a few ideas past you. Anything to say, William? Well, why are you using so much jargon, Yvonne? Oh, that's because that's the topic of today's programme. So you'd better explain what jargon is for us. OK, well jargon is a noun that we use for specific特殊的 groups of words and expressions.
They're only used by people in special or technical技术的 situations because they are the only people who really understand. So for example, glossing? Yes, glossing basically基本上 means explaining. So really the only people who know what glossing means are people like you and me and people who teach English over the radio. So glossing is an example of jargon.
