Keith-- Yes, the Russians distinguish action and activity with two
distinctive words, but they argue a lot about the properties of the
lexical spaces and their presumptive references. The tension between
those who talk mediated action and those who talk mediated activity
is one of the recurrently important fault lines in this area of
discourse.
