| Authors | |
| Abstract | Social knowledge is created in a certain context. There are numerous terms that are internationally significant. Their common understanding is imperative. Nevertheless, a lot of differences between the terms in various contexts exist in scholarly, professional and everyday languages. This is highly applicable to the term of collaboration and its meaning on the international scope for the countries that are on their way to democracy. This article analyzes the concept of collaboration from the perspective of Lithuania, as the country that spent long time under authoritarian regime and currently is developing its democratic state, and compares this concept to the similar term used in the English language. Historically conditioned differences and some similarities are found. The article seeks to answer the following question: how Lithuanian terms related to the concept of collaboration compare to their counterpart terminology in the English language? In addition, it is essential to determine how a specific context impacts the concept of collaboration and what the possibilities to form its common understanding are.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ss.74.4.1037 |
