ONOMASIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF DISEASE NAMES IN DIFFERENT SYSTEMATIC LANGUAGES
Abstract
The study of disease names across various languages offers valuable insights into the intersection of medical terminology and linguistic structures. This article examines the onomasiological features—essentially, how diseases are named and classified—across different systematic languages, exploring how linguistic and cultural contexts influence disease nomenclature. By analyzing these features, we aim to understand how different languages systematize disease names, the implications for medical communication, and the potential impacts on global health practices.
