Occupational Language

Saturday, June 19th, 2010

Occupations also have their own distinctive mode expressions as depicted in the language used by their members. Secretaries, mechanics, salesman, social scientists, journalists, and teachers have their own unique way of talking. Technical language, class vocabulary and argot (words that are substitute for ordinary traditional words) are woven into a pattern of speaking, so that to be fully acculturated into a work group, a person must know how to communicate in the customary way.
Thus the accountant speaks in terms of debit, credit, audit, journal, books — which are technical terms. The doctor may talk in terms of the OR (operating room). DOA (dead on arrival), ETD (expected time of delivery) as part his vocabulary Often times policeman, the cigarette vendors, and the drivers develop some jargon or argots. A newcomer will eventually learn this worker’s vocabulary and may even add to it as he becomes a member of the work group.

Sometimes in solving organizational problem, a feasible solution just couln’t come. But they must continue to look for a workable alternative before things start o deteriorate. They must not give up what they have resolved to do because it is providing rather than difficult. They must not allow it to wither.

People don’t like dealing with uncertainties in their work. Sometimes they have no choice but to work under such condition. They never say anything that didn’t take place in the present, maybe because they wouldn’t let themselves think about the future.

At present, they are mainly concerned with their survival in the organization. no individual could escape from his own idealism. Idealism blinds an individual’s view. However, everybody has to do things for the organization. Whether he likes to do it for himself personally doesn’t matter. What matter’s is that work has got to be done for the organization.

While many managers have honestly earned their managerial positions, they except those in top management, restrain themselves in discussing the future in the organization. They devite much of their time solving the present problems. By their very training, managers have to remain cool under fire. They must have grace under pressure.
