| Abstract: | Anatomy is a science which concerns the human body and its organs. It forms a structural base for specialist vocabulary of all medical fields and branches. The anatomical vocabulary includes names of body parts and organs, bones, muscles, tendons, tissues, nerves, veins etc. As a result of new explorations in medical sciences the number of specialist terms tends to increase. New terms should be coined for fixing physiological functions and processes of the organs, their pathological conditions and processes, various therapies and medicines. New terms are often borrowings from other languages but word formation also plays an important part. The aim of the present paper is to present determinative compounds in German and Dutch medical vocabularies which include names of body parts and organs. The language corpus has been collected from various medical journals. The original vocabulary is presented in original sentences and it was analysed from the point of view of morphology and semantics. As a result of this analysis various types of determinative compounds with names of organs have been specified. Apart from words of the native languages German and Dutch determinative compounds also include borrowings and words composed of parts taken from other languages. |
