Abstract:

As a side effect of the rapid progress in medical research and of the
emergence of new medical conditions, medicine is a domain where new concepts
have to be named more frequently than in many other domains. Because of the
prominent position of English in medical research, most of these concepts are
first named in English. This raises questions relating to the naming
strategies adopted and the consequences of the choice of particular
strategies. These consequences are not restricted to English, because the
English terms often need to be translated and are sometimes borrowed.

This volume consists of an introduction and eight chapters. The first four
chapters focus on the choice of naming strategy and the consequences for the
transparency of the resulting names in English. These chapters address the
international pharmaceutical nomenclature, the terminology of psychiatry and
of middle-ear surgery, and the use of neoclassical word formation. The
following four chapters concentrate on the issues of translation and borrowing
evolving from the choice of names in English. They address translation into
Spanish, Slovak, Polish and Turkish.
