Book excerpt: In coordinated papers that are grounded in empirical research, the volume contributors use careful linguistic analysis to understand how attempts to translate between different disciplines can misfire in systematic ways. This problem takes on real-life significance when one of the fields is law, where how knowledge is conveyed can affect how justice is meted out.
