Italian term or phrase: coscienza/consapevolezza/presa di coscienza ecc.
Da un testo che parla delle piante: la percezione della luce, i sistemi di conteggio temporale, la coscienza del tempo.

Volevo chiedere un parere:
Devo trovare traduzioni diverse per "coscienza", "consapevolezza, "presa di coscienza"
Sono più o meno sinomimi però il mio cliente mi ha detto che bisogna fare una distinzione. Avevo pensato di usare:
coscienza = consciousness
consapevolezza = awareness
coscienza di sè = self-awareness
presa di coscienza (del tempo) = ?? (mi viene da usare "awareness" di nuovo)

Idee?

Grazie mille!

empiro-coscienza (pensavo di usare "empirical consciousness"
hirselina: 8:28am Jun 16, 2006: Ma come fare senza contesto??? -
xxxCMJ_Trans: 8:34am Jun 16, 2006: presa di coscienza = realisation -
kpi: 10:46am Jun 16, 2006: I don't really have much context - except that these terms are all referred to plants, which is why I am having trouble. I can see for example "consciousness raising" where plants are concerned...
rfmoon: 12:58pm Jun 24, 2006: Thank you kpi. Have a great day!
