LEXICAL RELATIONS IN MEDICAL TEXTS-TRANSLATOR’S VIEW

Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of lexical cohesion relations in specialised, medical texts. A corpus gathered from internal medicine textbooks published in English and available in Polish translation will be investigated. This paper describes lexical cohesion relations in specialised texts in terms of so called “specialised lexical combinations” (word groups used in specialised language). It gives a brief overview of different strategies and techniques used in translation of such word groups and it underlines the importance of implementing those strategies for achieving cohesive and coherent translation of specialised discourse.
