transposition

Non-PRO English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
can anyone explain what "transposition" exactly means in this article?
I checked the dictionary but there are so many meanings, that makes me confused.

The analysis comprises the comparison on several subjects in several member states. The transposition is put in a broader perspective by describing the background of a member state in terms of legal organisation and culture. The transposition itself is analysed in terms of the organisational choices member states made and, if known, what the effects of the transposition are.  This is an analysis/comparison on the choices and effects. This research is not an analysis of the exact choice of words used in the transposition.

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.

transposition of legislation

More context would help (hence low CL), but I suspect this is about the transposition of legislation, which refers to the process whereby EU member states incorporate EU directives into their own law.

See e.g. this Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_(law)
"In European Union law, transposition is a process by which the European Union's member states give force to a directive by passing appropriate implementation measures.[1] Transposition is typically done by either primary or secondary legislation.

The European Commission closely monitors that transposition is timely, correctly done and implemented, so as to attain the results intended.[2] Incorrect transposition may be the result of non acting (leaving aside certain provisions), diverging (other scope, definition or requirement), "gold-plating" (exceeding the requirements of the directive), "double-banking" (overlapping between existing national laws and the transposed directive), or "regulatory creep" (overzealous enforcement or a state of uncertainty in the status of the regulation)."

agree Thomas T. Frost : Yes, on condition that the text is about EU law.

a permutation which exchanges two elements and keeps all others fixed

Here transposition means a permutation which exchanges two elements and keeps all others fixed.

An exchange of two elements of an ordered list with all others staying the same. A transposition is therefore a permutation of two elements. For example, the swapping of 2 and 5 to take the list 123456 to 153426 is a transposition. The permutation symbol epsilon_(ijk...) is defined as (-1)^n, where n is the number of transpositions of pairs of elements that must be composed to build up the permutation.

If you want to understand it in a really simple way, you can say that transposition refers to (in a very broad and simple sense) the procedure of calculating, of determining something by mathematical or logical methods. [This is how I would explain to a child :)]

Peer comment(s):

disagree Thomas T. Frost : This generic meaning of "transposition" does not fit the context, and you make no attempt to explain how it could fit. The context is probably EU law and national implementing measures.
