Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Jocelyne S

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

premises of the analysis

I think you can just stick to the same in English, which is often the way with vocabulary in the social sciences. Premises = the underlying notions used as a basis for the analysis. You could also use "basic premises" if you want.

'Normally in science the reason for belief is the empirical adequacy demonstrated by an empirical test such as an experiment. All universally quantified statements believe to be true are both analytic and synthetic, and can be called “analytical hypotheses.”'

"The key work in the first phase of his work is The Human Group (1950). Homans proposes that social reality should be described at three levels: social events, customs, and analytical hypotheses that describe the processes by which customs arise and are maintained or changed. "

Peer comment(s):

neutral Melissa McMahon : "premise" and "analysis" are already technical academic terms/my concern is that a premise is something assumed and a hypothesis is something tested

Indeed, but I think it is a question of what term would be used if writing the same source text in English. The Asker hasn't really given enough information to judge how formal the context is.//Yes, good point.
