[Linguistic Anthropology] Lingo and Niches

[Alexandre]

It'd be interesting to compare "lawyer lingo" (described by Language
Log) with the allegedly obscurantist tendencies of early 1990s
deconstructionists, described by a computer professional as an
ecological niche. The way I see them, both phenomena relate to the
connection between epistemology, communication, and social role.
