Some sources, however, treat these terms as synonymous. According to one definition, jargon differs from slang in being secretive in nature according to another understanding, it is specifically associated with professional and technical circles. The terms jargon, slang, and argot are not consistently differentiated in the literature different authors interpret these concepts in varying ways.
Jargon is sometimes understood as a form of technical slang and then distinguished from the official terminology used in a particular field of activity. The main trait that distinguishes jargon from the rest of a language is special vocabulary-including some words specific to it and often different senses or meanings of words, that outgroups would tend to take in another sense-therefore misunderstanding that communication attempt. The context is usually a particular occupation (that is, a certain trade, profession, vernacular or academic field), but any ingroup can have jargon.
Jargon is normally employed in a particular communicative context and may not be well understood outside that context. Jargon is the specialized terminology associated with a particular field or area of activity.
