Abstract: | In Romanian, pattern is considered to be an Anglicism, used with various meanings in medical texts. This paper serves a twofold purpose. Firstly, it argues in favour of a different origin of the word, and secondly, it tries to discover how the many meanings of the English polysemic word pattern may be rendered in the Romanian medical language. The method of analysis combines etymological research, contrastive lexicology, corpus analysis, and translation. |
Key words: | polysemy, medical language, etymology, English influence, translation |
