| Abstract: | In the recent years, we have been interested in the popular medical Romanian language and we have done basic research in this field, reflected in our doctoral thesis which will be published soon. There have been different sources, as we have intended to analyze the phenomenon both synchronically (by relying on all the equipment including the Romanian dialectal features) and diachronically (using the writings of doctors and of some Romanian or foreign intellectuals of the 18th and 19th centuries, which focused on the above-mentioned problem). We have analyzed over 1100 popular and regional names of diseases, have added a large number of verbs that have a close association with the “medical act” in the traditional society. Our intention was also to notice the crossing of the medical language over its correspondent popular language in order to see to what extent the neologisms have soaked in the popular medical practice. As a result of the research work mentioned above, a whole series of observations appeared, most of them applying to all medical and popular language, while, of course, others are specific only to the medical field. |
