Martin (1992: 545):
The linguistically constructed [field] taxonomies of humanities, social science, and science are the ones that are most appropriately referred to as technical since they function as distillations of common sense or less technical experience into uncommon sense classifications of the world.

[1] All field taxonomies are "linguistically constructed", and in two senses. On the one hand, field is construed by language; that is, during logogenesis, the language that realises a given contextual field intellectually constructs that field. On the other hand, field taxonomies are linguistic construals of experience.
[2] This confuses field (context) with the language that realises field. The confusion is thus along the dimension of stratification (symbolic identity).
[3] The nominal group 'commonsense or less technical experience' confuses experience with commonsense construals of experience.
