本章探讨了工程师和政策制定者的工作之间的语言，学科和实际的关系，以及它们如何影响他们之间的合作。借鉴思想发展的托马斯库恩在他后来的探索的概念的不可分割性，并在认知发展的工作，本文描述了僵局的性质，经常观察到这样的合作。强调沟通故障的结果，本文着眼于这种不可分割性的实际影响和潜在的解决方案，研究围绕这种语言障碍的路线的替代解释，以及寻求这种解决方案的重要性。
This chapter examines the linguistic, disciplinary and practical relationships between the work of engineers and policymakers and how they affect collaborations between them. Drawing on ideas developed by Thomas Kuhn in his later explorations of the concept of incommensurability, and on work in cognitive development, the paper describes the nature of the impasse often observed in such collaborations. Highlighting the outcomes of communication breakdowns, the paper looks at the practical impacts of and potential solutions to this incommensurability, examining alternative explanations of the routes around this language barrier, and the importance of seeking such solutions.
