Some etymological, lexical and stylistic specificities of the French medical vocabulary

Education

A new concept has emerged on the linguistic morrocan scene known as the technolect. by "technolect" we mean the set of lexical and discursive uses specific to a sphere of human activity. Claude Hagège was one of the first to use this term . Whe should state that the technolect is not synonymous with terminology or jargon. The technolect contains them but cannot be reduced to the lexical level alone. The technoleft is not, like terminology, essentially paradigmatic. Far beyond that, It contains complex units, called complex lexies or synapses . In this language, all linguistic domains (phonetic, syntactic, morphological, semantic, lexical) are mobilized in technolegal language productions, with a prevalence of the lexical aspect. In this article, we will present some specificities of the medical technolect, illustrating them with concrete examples.
