Primes

• Translation and Conceptual Bridging
  • Direct transfer fails; translation requires restructuring, a pattern Bechky (2003) documents in cross-occupational meaning-sharing on engineering shop floors.

    This sourceEthnographic study of engineers, technicians, and assemblers showing that cross-occupational coordination requires restructuring practices and artifacts, not direct transfer of source vocabulary.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
