Hi Andrew,
"vernacular" means the speech used by a certain group of people. For example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernacular
So "academic vernacular" means the language used by the specific academic group that is being discussed.IT might be scientists, geographers, anthropologists or any group of academics who discuss a certain subject.They have their own words and meanings that may be hard for an outsider to understand.
