You just did! Your use of the term "computational lexicologist" was
very precise and concise. If you had tried to explain your research
specialization without this term, minimally, you would have needed
many more words to do it (i.e., less concise). That's the beauty of
words. We have a shared understanding of their meaning and so we can
communicate with each other very concisely and precisely using them.
We just need to be careful (sometimes) that the words we use really do
have a shared meaning. Otherwise, we end up with miscommunication.

more than I intended when I submitted my original post a few days
back).
