2010-04-21 Thread Simon King
Hi! I am trying to translate "coercion" to German. In dictionaries and Wikipedia, I only found the legal notion of a coercion, but I doubt that "kanonische Nötigung" and "Nötigungsmodell" are good translations for "canonical coercion" and "coercion model". Does someone have a better creative idea
