<\/p>\nOur researchers, research teams and international partners undertake interprofessional, empirical, data-based, machine and manual analysis of health communication. We investigate patient-centered medical communication and terminology and, in close collaboration with medical professionals, we develop language strategies that support the development of medical terminology and patient-centered communication.<\/p>\n

Within these documents, diagnoses are linked to the described lesions, and the probability of these diagnoses can be expressed through diverse linguistic techniques, encompassing specific stylistic and terminological elements.<\/p>\n In pursuit of this goal, the research team will conduct the analysis of authentic documentation in the selected languages, aided by the Sketch Engine concordance software. Their primary emphasis will be on discerning similarities and distinctions in the use of linguistic metaphors and the techniques employed to depict visual and, where possible, tactile perceptions within diverse cultural contexts. Furthermore, the research will detect phraseo-terminological structures and linguistic patterns that define these genres in the respective languages.<\/p>\n Another key objective of the research group is to create guidelines for the translation of these documents between these languages. They will also compare the ways in which probability is reflected in histological and autopsy documentation in Hungarian, German, and English, with the aim of providing professionals with guidelines to improve the expression of subtleties, precision, and clarity of their documentation in this specialized field.<\/p>\n Language<\/strong>: English<\/p>\n Principal investigators:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n Principal investigators:<\/strong> Co-researchers:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> Hungarian<\/p>\n Publication:<\/strong> Principal investigators:<\/strong> Co-researchers:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> Hungarian, German, English<\/p>\n Publication<\/strong> Principal investigators:<\/strong> Co-researchers:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> Hungarian<\/p>\n Publication:<\/strong> Principal investigator:<\/strong> Co-researcher:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong><\/p>\n The aim of the research \u00a0is to develop \u00a0a language teaching methodology which prepares students for \u00a0intercultural medical communication and \u00a0using English as a lingua franca.<\/p>\n During the research, which relies on theory and teaching practice, validated teaching and assessment materials are developed.<\/p>\n Language<\/strong>: English<\/p>\n Publication:<\/strong> Bak\u00f3, Alexandra ; Marshall, Barbara (2023)<\/strong><\/span> Marshall, Barbara ; Bak\u00f3, Alexandra (2022)<\/strong><\/span> Bak\u00f3, Alexandra (2022)<\/strong><\/span> Marshall, Barbara (2022)<\/strong><\/span> Bak\u00f3 Alexandra \u2013 Marshall Barbara (2020)<\/strong><\/span> Bak\u00f3 Alexandra (2019)<\/strong><\/span> Principal investigator:<\/strong> Co-researcher:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> English<\/p>\n Publication:<\/strong> Marshall, Barbara (2023) Principal investigator:<\/strong> Co-researcher:<\/strong> Short description:<\/strong> Language:<\/strong> Hungarian, English<\/p>\n Publication: Putz, M.<\/strong> (2023).\u00a0A motiv\u00e1ci\u00f3 szerepe \u00e9s a szigorlati eredm\u00e9nyek \u2013 \u00f6sszef\u00fcgg\u00e9sek, tapasztalatok.\u00a0THL2: A magyar nyelv \u00e9s kult\u00fara tan\u00edt\u00e1s\u00e1nak szakfoly\u00f3irata<\/em>, 1-2, 93-104.<\/span><\/p>\n Putz, M.<\/strong> (2023).

\nComprehensive qualitative and quantitative analyses of dental consultations for patients undergoing treatment for STIs. Considering that systemic factors often underlie oral mucosal diseases, a complex linguistic and dental examination is conducted regarding the diagnostic role of the patient’s reported medical history, based on patient education preceding medical history taking. The research focuses on the communication strategies, particularly those employed by dentists, during medical history taking, with special attention to topics treated as taboos. In this research, the aim is to integrate identified communicative strategies into patient-centered dentist-patient communication education and provide quantitative data to support the significance of information obtained from medical history in dental decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Terminological, pragmatic, and dental professional analyses of dental consultations for patients seeking care due to xerostomia<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nComprehensive qualitative and quantitative analyses of dental consultations for patients reporting subjective dry mouth. Considering that systemic causes (immunological or geriatric) or subjective (psychological) factors are often behind dry mouth, a complex linguistic and dental analysis is carried out based on the patient’s reported medical history. This research seeks to answer whether hyposalivation or psychological factors underlie xerostomia. The aim is to integrate identified communicative strategies into patient-centered dentist-patient communication education and quantify the significance of information obtained from the medical history in dental decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Exploring Metaphorical Descriptions and Terminological Features of Diagnosis Probability in Histological and Autopsy Documentation<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nThe research group aims to investigate linguistic means for proving damage in healthcare by focusing on discourse-specific markers within healthcare settings. This research group will delve into the expression of the probability of evidence in discourses related to diagnostic procedures, clinical negligence, and bodily harm. Terminological, phraseo-terminological, stylistic, and discourse-specific linguistic features in authentic corpora of Hungarian, German, and English findings are analyzed. The primary goal of this research is to describe the linguistic characteristics found in these languages through a contrastive analysis. Furthermore, the research group aims to publish guidelines to assist professionals dealing with specific healthcare discourses in expressing the strength of evidence effectively for interventional, civil legal, and criminal legal purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>The Terminological and Sociopragmatic Analysis of Online Consultations on the \u2018Webbeteg\u2019 Portal<\/span><\/h3>\n

\nThe objective of the research group is to construct and deliver a software-based terminological and sociopragmatic analysis of a text corpus composed of material related to online, asynchronous advice-seeking and advice-giving interactions. This study focuses on the distinctions between everyday language and medical terminology, examines code-switching, and seeks to reveal sociopragmatic characteristics within the context of seeking and giving advice. Ultimately, the goal is to develop guidelines for effective language strategies in this domain.<\/span><\/p>\n
