I started with dictionaries and went on with encyclopedias. According to the German dictionary \"Duden\" (Duden (2000: 370)) a field may be e.g. an electric field. This shows that this word may be lexical ambiguous. There can also be found some word combinations with 'field', e.g. cross-country, 'ins Feld (in den Krieg) ziehen' or field crop. This example shows that there is no one-to-one correspondence in English for 'ins Feld ziehen'. A non-native speaker has to paraphrase this expression, e.g. 'go to war'. However, these notions are rather primary. In order to find a more precise kind of definition, I searched the \"Wikipedia\" (http: \/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feld (access: 2005-08-02, 12:14 MEZ)) and found a very detailed description of the term 'field': it can represent an acre (differentiated land area to grow agricultural crop), in sports the field to play on or a certain group of pursuers, in military history the theater of war, in general a specific field, in physics a certain position, in computer science a data structure, in cutting the term for a single picture, and in a specific area of heraldry the term for the parts of a crest. By looking up 'field' in the online dictionary 'Wiktionary' (http: \/\/de.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/Feld (access: 2005-08-02, 20:22 MEZ)), I discovered nearly the same definition as in the \"Wikipedia\", but there were two pieces of extra information about 'field': it may be a defined as an area on a sheet of paper, a board to play on, or a screen, but it can as well depict the world outside of a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568524714135,"sku":"9783638814058","price":2144.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783638814058.webp?v=1767465557","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-concept-of-field-and-gap-9783638814058","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
