(2009) Biosemiotics 2 (1).
English, nowadays a global lingua franca, undoubtedly suffers regrettable assaults from speakers of different corners of the world; sometimes I feel really sorry for the native speakers, who are polite enough not to express their distaste for our performances. Alas, I find it all the more regrettable when the same native speakers tend to transfer colloquial, or laboratory, slang into professional scientific texts. By this I mean the continuous trend to use the name of a science for the object of that science. I don’t need to stress how quickly such garbage sips into all other languages.
