The structure of primary synonyms in Polish medical terminology of the second half of the 19th century

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The article describes the structure of 940 medical terms (names of diseases) fromthe “Dictionary of Polish Medical Terminology” (Słownik terminologii lekarskiej polskiej)of 1881, that have been recognised as the most accurate, i.e. primary synonyms.From their analysis in the context of synonymic chains in which they occur, it was concludedthat the structure of a term recognised as ideal is of no great significance (in the case of 80% of terms) for the establishment of the term as the primary synonym. This isone of the reasons for which primary synonyms often have a structure identical to otherterms in its synonymic chain.
