Opis

This linguistic research introduces Communication Strategies (CS) which can be applied to interpret medical terminologies. Jeffrey Cordell (2019) mentions using computer interpretation is also a good way to make the terms being displayed and interpreted by certain apps. This study focused on humanized environment of a clinic or hospital that highlights the importance of goal of communication, and jargon fluency in the medical work place, such as clinics and hospitals. In medical treatment processes, medical doctors and nurses need to communicate in a comprehensible way. However, some terms that are in Greek or foreign languages might not be understood easily. In this case, some paraphrase, explanation and circumlocution should be applied.
