The C vocabulary. The C vocabulary was supplementary to the others and
consisted entirely of scientific and technical terms. These resembled
the scientific terms in use today, and were constructed from the same
roots, but the usual care was taken to define them rigidly and strip
them of undesirable meanings. They followed the same grammatical rules
as the words in the other two vocabularies. Very few of the C words had
any currency either in everyday speech or in political speech. Any
scientific worker or technician could find all the words he needed in
the list devoted to his own speciality, but he seldom had more than a
smattering of the words occurring in the other lists. Only a very few
words were common to all lists, and there was no vocabulary expressing
the function of Science as a habit of mind, or a method of thought,
irrespective of its particular branches. There was, indeed, no word for
?Science?, any meaning that it could possibly bear being already
sufficiently covered by the word Ingsoc.
