Medico / medicastro - considerations on the not only communicative and / or linguistic competence
Abstract
The aim of this article is to illustrate the complexities of relations at the level of verbal
communication between two separate environments: patients and physicians. Many terms
used while addressing physicians are related to and depend on their professional activities.
The way of expressing thoughts and the choice of lexical items reflect emotional states and
reactions to certain facts and standards of behaviour. We know of many possible linguistic
reactions to specific real-life situations and the choice of lexical items depends upon both
sociolinguistic factors (level of education of the speaker, place of residence, means of
communications) as well as morphological factors (morphological processes) and semantic
factors (using metaphoric expressions).
