work mode Explanation: from language of computing just a variant -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2009-07-25 18:52:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- arbetslogiken is new to swedish, i believe just 28 google hits -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-07-25 19:17:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry, the first bit of explanation is a bit ambiguous *parallel work mode* is what can be found in computing just *work mode* seems to work well in other contexts, not related to computing |

Workplace theories (or schools of thought) Explanation: My monolingual "Svenska Akademiens ordlista över svenska språket" defines "logik" as "lära om tänkandet." My Norstedt's defines "lära" as "science," "theory" or "theories" -- hence my choice of nouns in the target phrase above. Given that "logik"/"logic" has to do with mental concepts or constructs, "workplace theory/theories" seems like the most logical word choice here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day22 hrs (2009-07-27 16:37:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thought, "workplace theory" might work even better in English. It turns out "workplace theory" has turned up 11,900 Google hits, whereas "workplace theories" only produced 449. |
