Definition #70846 - Preferred

 

definition

x₁ metaphorically translates/transfers/extends/applies concept x₂ to new context x₃ from prior context x₄; x₁ uses concept x₂ in new way x₃, derived from prior way x₄.

notes

x₄ need not be the original or 'literal' context. fanva 'translate' is used here metaphorically, a result of the very process that sibypevyfanva describes: the concept of translation was itself brought into the domain of concepts from the domain of words. sibypevyfanva is somewhat like metfo 'use (a bridi expression) metaphorically', but used with concepts rather than words. Examples of conceptual 'translation' that could be described with sibypevyfanva are the extension of 'utility' to microeconomics from ethics and the extension of 'law' to the natural world from human legal systems (as reflected in the double meaning of the English word 'law'). Probably synonymous with sibypevyfu'i. Some may prefer the sound of the allomorphic form si'orpevyfanva.
