Homonymous terms in doctor — patient communication (in the English language)

Agadzhanyan S.   (Post-graduate student, Lomonosov Moscow State University)

The question of existence of terminological homonymy within one terminological system still remains unanswered. Although very few papers devoted to terminology regard this phenomenon as possible, the analysis of doctor — patient communication in English showed that a number of homonymous terms are present in these dialogues. Such terms are created throughout the reduction of either the first or the second base morpheme of compound terms. As a results, these terms sound more informal and can be used to establish a contact with the patients. The meaning of homonymous terms becomes clear thanks to the context in which they are used.

Keywords:terms, homonymy, systems of terms, doctor—patient communication
