Spanish to English Art/Literary Religion Biblical textual studies
I'm at the brain-fry stage of a very complex translation, and I'm running stuck on what I suspect is probably a straightforward translation! At any rate, any help would be highly appreciated.

The document is regarding the study of Hebrew Biblical texts, and the phrase in question is in the following context:

"...Es necesario fomentar el trabajo interdisciplinar y potenciar los espacios y canales de comunicación, especialmente en las áreas próximas. De esta manera los resultados de estudios en las diferentes áreas podrán integrarse en un *campo de análisis" más amplio.

Thanks very much, and Happy New Year to all! ..... Bill
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

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.

field of analysis / analytical scope

I think the direct translation works well here, "a broader field of analysis".

Another option could be something like "widening the analytical scope".

Note from asker:
Thanks for the link, Simon! Amazing, this is what came to mind, but upon doing a Google search the phrase came up not once! I see you've done the search with quotation marks, and of course it appears various times! I'll await the official time, but I'm very happy you found this....Bill
