Primes

• Translation and Conceptual Bridging
  • Some concepts translate easily (mathematical principles often transfer across domains because their abstraction is already domain-independent); others do not (culturally embedded concepts like honor or shame may have no structural equivalent in different cultural systems), a problem Kuhn (1983) sharpened in his account of commensurability, comparability, and communicability across paradigms.
