The study follows up the existing view on the signs of professionalisms as economic (short), notional opposites to terms. We present them both theoretically and materially as expressions from various scientific fields, services, crafts or arts as they are described in Czech, Slovak, but also French, Canadian and English scientific publications. On the basis of several thousand entries, we consider the possibilities of theoretical shifts in the profiling of professionalisms as units that do not avoid expressiveness, metaphors or antonym (or other systemic relationships in lexis). After a comprehensive outline of the updated profile of professionalisms, we identify the meaning of using these expression units as a means of overcoming the misunderstanding between experts and non- experts in socio-scientific communication, that is, as a means of social inclusion.
