Of course.
In France there is a physics journal that has been published since the 19th century. It's called Journal de Physique. The title of the journal is in French but essentially none of the papers in it is in French, because the lingua franca in the 17th century was Latin. Newton wrote his book not in English but in Latin. Descartes also wrote some of his work in Latin. We have to be careful about an abstract view of the world versus a practical view. In mathematics there are very few words: “if...then” and then you have equations. Very basic language is used. Papers are generally four pages long instead of 25 pages, as is the case for sociology or industry.
