Knowledge & language

Knowledge is a language

Language is knowledge

Often happens that you are aware of a fact but you can’t describe it in words, even in your mother language. That may happen either because it’s not yet clear for yourself how the problem functions or you don’t know the terms to that topic. In both cases you aren’t able to transfer you feelings and ideas in words to others. 

Learning and specializing in a scientific field allows you to communicate and share the ideas with others who know the specific terms of that field. It is not far from expectation for a medical scholar not to understand a sociologist’s words and vice versa.

Till recently, I didn’t believe language as an academic field. And that was not a weird view since I did not find what was expected from a scholar, in any language graduates (now I can find this fact true even in other field of sciences’ scholars). What is expected from a graduate of a scientific field? In my point of view, he/she has to be able to analyze and express the facts of the relative field using the terms of that science.
