SUBORDINATED CLASSES OF MEDICAL TERMS. TEXT ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: Our paper focuses on a text analysis regarding hyponymy relations which are very often encountered in specialized vocabulary because they represent a hierarchical lexical ordering of concepts. The research outlines the subordination of terms depending on their semantic content - assigning a term that designates a specific, precise notion with another term which denotes a more general notion in relation to the first, but it is subsumed to the same class of terms. In our text analysis we have observed monolexical hyponyms but also syntagmatic constructions contributing to highly precise definitions of certain diseases, disorders, symptoms. Thus, medical terms are classified according to their domains (medicină), subdomains (dermatologie), classes (boală de piele) into: hyperonyms, hyponyms, co-hyponyms (acarioză, acnee, alopecie).
