The language we speak, but used for the educational world, people who are in universities and other centers of learning - think tanks and research jobs.
it refers to the language that is not colorful, filled with analogies, poetic or otherwise colloquial.
It is maybe the opposite of "the vernacular"

Clarity and few ambiguities are the most important.
