This
final contribution to this special Journal of Language and Social
Psychology issue
on “using the science of language to improve translation of the
language of science”
places the articles in the context and nature of the broader literature
on science
communication, particularly as it relates to the media. This framework
is crafted
with a view to identifying the complex factors and processes that
create translation
problems, highlighting models and approaches that can improve science
communication.
Throughout, we propose a parsimonious set of research agenda items.
Scholars wishing to move between different models of science
communication should
take into consideration the processes of formative evaluation,
intergroup accommodation, and message design
logics.
