Summary/Abstract: In contemporary interdisciplinary scientific practices, the translation from one disciplinary language to another becomes problematic. The discussion of contemporary issues leads to the joining of a variety of different discourses. The inevitable non‑coincidence between direct and reverse translation, as well as the incompleteness of the translation process, produce the non‑linearity of contemporary scientific dialogue and form a creative space in the interdisciplinary dialogue that holds the general attitude of communication without submit it to a preliminary generalization. The concept is the structural element of the connection between linguistically disconnected disciplinary worlds. The procedural aspect is expressed in the problem of translation. Interdisciplinary communication, mediated by the translation of disciplinary knowledge into the language of conceptual narratives, models the specific forms of the common activity of individuals, trying to resolve existential paradoxes grouped together in concepts.
