Abstract

In interdisciplinary assemblies, presenters should pay spcial attention to appropreate usage of technical terms. Unintelligible terms and jargons should be avoided. In oral presentation, abbreviations should not be abused, except for ones widely known or generally accepted. Single acronyms may stand for a variety of words, and may be misunderstood by some of the audience of different specialties. Etymologically absurd terms or nonce words should not be coined. The way of kana writing of loan words, chemical names, proper names, etc. is not consistent. Such inconsistency is often unadjustable but should not be ignored. Abuses of loan words including coinage of so-called ‘Japanese English’ words have recently been more and more conspicuous, not only in mass media but even in scientific books and official documents. Reconsideration of scholars, researchers, educators as well as beaureaucrats is urged.<br>
