Description
| Title: | "Lost in Translation": Language, Meaning, Disruption |
| Author(s): | Budd, John M. |
| Subject(s): | communication studies
history theory and philosophy of information qualitative research methods |
| Abstract: | In this paper the problematic nature of use and appropriation of the language used for one set of purposes by those who have other purposes in mind will be discussed. The popular notions of paradigm and entropy are explored as one discipline seeks to borrow words, terms, and signs from other (frequently more mature and concrete disciplines. At times the original intention is salvaged, but frequently other meaning is substituted—deliberately or not—in the process of appropriation. There are examples of a discipline adopting terms originating in another one, and the challenges that ensue. |
