Italian term or phrase: declinate al plurale
Salve, potreste darmi un suggerimento per tradurre questo "declinate al plurale"?

Stiamo parlando di inclusione scolastica e della normativa che la disciplina.

Ecco la frase:

"La definizione e la pratica scolastica dell’inclusione può variare in modo significativo, non solo tra culture e sistemi educativi, ma anche al loro interno (Dyson, 1999). Pare opportuno parlare di versioni multiple di inclusione, attribuendo in tal modo senso e importanza ad un discorso sulle “inclusioni” declinate al plurale. "

Grazie mille in anticipo e buona giornata.

considered in the plural
Explanation:
I would put it this way. In English one only declines invitations and verbs, while many things decline and wane.

You can decline nouns and adjectives in Latin, but you just wouldn't use it in that way in English.

Oops of course you decline nouns and conjugate verbs, but generally in foreign languages.

Explanation:
"... giving importance to the issue of inclusion in a wider sense."

The word "plural" doesn't convey much to me in this context. Something like this might fit the bill.

agree  Frank Miller: In this particular case, I would agree ("declined" in this context would not be correct). Although, I thought verbs were always conjugated with adjs/nouns being declined.

  -> It was late. Of course you conugate verbs. Thank you Frank.

agree  BdiL: Of course with Frank (but agreeing that late hours are tough even in the Seychelles...).
