TRIADIC COMMUNICATION IN PEDIATRICS AS AN OBJECT OF LINGUISTIC MODELING IN A PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED RUSSIAN LANGUAGE COURSE

Abstract

The article substantiates the need for targeted development of professional communicative competence in future pediatricians as a critical component of their professional training. It examines the linguistic, rhetorical, and sociocultural aspects of medical discourse in pediatrics. The study’s methodological basis is a normative-stylistic approach that allows for the analysis of both adherence to linguistic norms and the mechanisms of style switching in the context of triadic communication “doctor – child – parent.” The paper postulates that targeted development of the ability to reflexively and flexibly use speech resources, including age-related adaptation and the management of nonverbal components, is a prerequisite for solving both standard and non-standard clinical problems, where words serve as a healing tool equal in importance to the physical resources of medicine. It concludes that specialized linguistic modules need to be integrated into the curricula of medical universities.
