Dear list,
After having been a silent observer of this list for several years I happen to have to ask something due to an ongoing discussion that I have offline:
I use the terms
- "domain" for "humanities" or "natural sciences",
- "discipline" for "archaeology" or "physics" and
- "field" or "specialty" for "classical archaeology" or "nuclear physics" type of concepts.
Now I am being told that I mix up field and discipline. I know that some use both as synonyms, but this is the worst solution in my view. Any comments or references which could help?
Thanks, Franz
