Abstract

The article explores that Latin terms are integrated into the medical English language system in all linguistic levels (orthography, phonology, morphology, and semantics). It is revealed that among all types of linguistic adoptions the largest part is made up of Anatomy of human body. The inclusion of Latin terms in the morphology of nouns, first of all in the gender, in the formation of the plural and in the form of the object case, as well as in the pronunciation of phonemes is considered.

Examples of the transition of words from Latin into English at the level of phonetics, morphology and semantics are given. It is emphasized that Latin loans make an important contribution to the enrichment of medical English.

The author concludes that in English as a foreign language classes the teacher is faced with the task of finding the most effective and productive method of studying medical English language by recognizing and understanding of Latin borrowings.

Keywords

Latin language, clinic vocabulary, English as foreign language, adoptions.
