【正文】 the scientist and the growing connection between original science and mercial exploitation. In the mid17th century it was mon practice for mathematicians to keep their discoveries and proofs secret, by writing them in obscure languages. Some scientists might have felt more fortable with Latin simply because its audience was socially restricted. Doctors stuck the most keenly to Latin as an 39。insider language39。. A third reason why the writing of original science in English was delayed may have been to do with the linguistic inadequacy of English in the early modern period. English was not well equipped to deal with scientific argument. Firstly, it lacked the necessary technical vocabulary. Secondly, it lacked the grammatical resources required to represent the world in an objective and impersonal way, and to discuss the relations, such as cause and effect, that might hold between plex entities.

It encouraged a new style of scientific writing. The 17th century was thus a formative period in the establishment of scientific English. But this situation did not last long. In the following century much of this popularity was lost as German established itself as the leading European language of science. It is estimated that by the end of the 18th century 401 German scientific journals had been established as opposed to 96 in France and 50 in England. However, in the 19th century scientific English again enjoyed substantial lexical growth as the industrial revolution created the need for new vocabulary, and new, specialised, professional societies were instituted to promote and publish in the new disciplines.
