ABSTRACT
Every discipline is based on a unique foundation of epistemological assumptions and concepts. This means that even when one discipline develops so that it begins to share its concerns with another, there may be little or no contact because the practitioners are, literally, speaking different languages. Even if contact is established, the neighbouring disciplines may still have nothing to say to each other because, while a topic may be common, the questions being asked and what count as interesting answers differ so greatly. To bridge the gap, considerable work in translation has to be done.
