t. 10, 2011 Polskie słownictwo medyczne w drugiej połowie XIX wieku oraz na przełomie XIX i XX wieku (Condition of the Polish medical vocabulary in the second half of 19th century and in the turn of the 19th and 20th century)
The paper pays attention to the presently omitted period of Polish medical terminology.
Examination of a sample of 2 medical vocabulary dictionaries issued in those days
(dated 1881 and 1905) indicated a few properties: 1) it poses a system, 2) it is characterized
by a variety of single-and-multi word phrases, 3) it did not cope with the synonymy
and the polysemy, 4) it is diverse in terms of chronology, genetics and stylistics.
