ADVANCING MEDICAL EDUCATION: A STUDY ON NEOLOGISM AND TERM FORMATION IN CONTEMPORARY MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

Abstract

In the article, based on the analysis of a continuous sample of current American, British and Russian scientific articles, monographs, textbooks on evidence-based and personalized medicine, as well as modern lexicographic sources, the study of neologization and term formation in the terminologies of new medical disciplines—evidence-based medicine and personalized medicine—is carried out. Conclusions are drawn that the majority of Russian terms-neologisms are borrowings from the English language, formed as a result of calcification, transcription, transliteration or phonetic and morphological modification of English terms. The integration of medicine with natural and technical disciplines has also led to the emergence of a number of complex terms, so the translation of English terms of evidence-based and personalized medicine into Russian requires a deep background knowledge of these fields of science.
