…
there is interwoven with this generic stratification of language a professional stratification of language…
the language o
f the lawyer, the doctor,
the businessman
,
the politician, the public education teacher and so forth
, and these sometimes coincide with, and sometimes depart from, the stratification into genres. it goes without saying that these languages differ from each other not only in their vocabularies; they involve specific forms for manifesting intentions, forms for making conceptualization and evaluation concrete.
