SŁOWNICTWO ŚRODOWISKOWE POLSKICH KARDIOLOGÓW I KARDIOCHIRURGÓW – ANALIZA SEMANTYCZNA I SŁOWOTWÓRCZA
The jargon used by Polish-speaking cardiologists and cardiac surgeons – a semantic and derivational analysis

Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to the study of the Polish medical sociolect. This paper highlights that: 1) the lexemes that are most commonly used by Polish cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are related to operations, diagnostics and medical treatment; 2) the cardiologists and cardiac surgeons’ image of the world is “anthropocentric”; 3) linguistic creativity is a distinctive feature of Polish physicians; 4) the Polish medical sociolect could be characterised by the tendency for the sociolect-specifi c words to gain a broader meaning whilst the form stays the same; 5) Polish tends to borrow words from English.
