English to Russian Social Sciences Linguistics Terminology, LSP and Translation

"2. Because they [linguistics, philosophy and different scientific and technical disciplines] have a different overall conceptualization of the object. For linguistics, it is a linguistic sign, i.e. an oral, articulated sign; for philosophy, it is mainly a concept, a representation of the reality; for the subject fields, it is a unit of expression and communication which includes linguistic and nonlinguistic elements.
3. Because they provide these units with prior goals that are essentially different. Linguistics focuses on meaning; philosophy, on cognition and representation; and the subject fields, on denomination yielding to transfer."
