Stent, bypass, screening... Since the end of World War II, English has reigned supreme over the language of medicine. But this has not always been the case. For example, many words relating to infectious diseases come from German. French, for its part, has also strongly influenced the vocabulary of obstetrics and cardiology.
What is the state of health of all these medical languages today? How is French fighting for its survival? What does Spanish suffer from? What does Brazilian Portuguese do to thrive? What remedies has Italian prescribed? Is German really moribund?
This book offers a thorough analysis of the main medical languages of today. Six authors trace their history from their common Greco-Latin origin and examine them in relation to the anglicization from which they all suffer to various degrees.
