A Critical Analysis of the Cultural and Linguistic Distinctions between Policymakers and Research: A Case Study of Policy Development in Florida.
Leslie, David W.; Routh, Dorothy K.
Educational Policy, v5 n3 p279-95 Sep 1991
Posits policymakers' and researchers' mutual inability to communicate in compatible language and imagery. Explores several rationales for the divergence between two separate cultures (the academic and the political), referring to an "ecology of games." Illuminates gaps with case material from policymaking in Florida, and develops semantic differentials to underline language and cultural incompatibilities. (29 references) (MLH)
