Işıl AÇIKALIN*
* Yrd.Doç.Dr.Anadolu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi İngilizce Bölümü, ESKİŞEHİR
The linguistic repertory of Turkish medical language includes also the technical terms of Greek, Latin, French, Arabic, Persian and English origin. As a result of this fact, medical professionals who learned this language through their education, have difficulties in expressing themselves in the standard language, as a high portion of technical terms are not Turkish. This study attempted to put forward a description of doctor-patient interviews from the informational view point, by relating the information-giving process of the doctors to the educational background of patients. The study focused upon the relational aspects of communication, using Stiles’ VRM system (1978-1981).Keywords: Turkish Medical Language, Doctor-patient Communication, Scientific languageTurkiye Klinikleri Tıbbi Etik 1997, 5:64-67
