Abstract

Scientific communication will be considered from many perspectives. My aim is to discuss here some aspects of the communication between scientists of different language, culture and field. On the one hand, there is the communication on discoveries, concepts and theories between scientists belonging the same or closely related fields. On the other hand, the understanding of the results of scientific research in a particular field by the scientists belonging to other fields. Problems added are the different languages and historical cultures existing in the world. Each scientist belongs to a particular culture and has a particular mother tongue. The scientific communication, like nearly all human communications, is through language and with specific cultural background. Then all these perspectives can be considered
