Research groups at the Institute of Languages for Specific Purposes<\/h2>\n

Our 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

Comprehensive 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<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Comprehensive 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<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Exploring Metaphorical Descriptions and Terminological Features of Diagnosis Probability in Histological and Autopsy Documentation<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

The research group’s objective is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of alterations and linguistic features related to the probability of diagnoses in histological and autopsy documentation, in the fields of pathology and forensic medicine. This research will involve a contrastive analysis of such documentation in Hungarian, German, and English languages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The central aim of this research is to delve into the metaphors employed to depict alterations or injuries. 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.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/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.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The 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.

The 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<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The research group is dedicated to offering language assistance through translations for hospitals and non-Hungarian-speaking patients. This initiative aims to prevent potential adverse events resulting from language barriers, ensuring that patients’ rights to information and the quality of healthcare services remain uncompromised. Language assistance will be provided through sample translations, bilingual glossaries, and translation guides. Notably, the research group gathers the medical language teaching departments of all medical universities in Hungary.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Our scientific research done prior to the development of teaching material in the fields of Latin anatomical nomenclature, authentic clinical documentation and pharmaceutical terminology is aimed at transferring knowledge that can be used immediately at \u00a0the patient bedside.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The aim of the research group is to collect Hungarian anatomical names in a terminological database, to unify the anatomical names of descriptive anatomy and clinical fields, and to detect the missing anatomical names based on the analysis of medical texts (textbooks, journal articles, patient information leaflets) and medical documents, taking into account the changes in the Latin international anatomical nomenclature, then implement the results \u00a0directly into education and make recommendations to professionals for unhindered \u00a0doctor-patient communication.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This research provides an in-depth analysis of the linguistic challenges that international medical students encounter when learning French medical terminology and communication. Based on exam data from Semmelweis University and a corpus of French hospital consultations, the study focuses on issues such as intercultural challenges, patient-centred communication, false friends, polysemy, and cultural variations in medical terminology. In collaboration with the Dipl\u00f4me de Fran\u00e7ais de la Sant\u00e9, Fran\u00e7ais des Affaires, the research seeks to integrate identified strategies into student education, improving their understanding and communication in francophone healthcare settings. The aim is to enhance communication between patients and healthcare professionals through more effective language learning, fostering better patient care and common decision-making.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This research group explores doctor-patient interactions in uro-oncological consultations, comparing linguistic practices in German, Russian, and Hungarian. The research focuses on variations in address forms, politeness strategies, and conversational structures, revealing the cultural and communicative norms that shape these interactions. Using interactional sociolinguistics, consultation transcriptions from each language are analyzed, identifying key differences in communication strategies. The findings highlight how linguistic practices influence the dynamics of doctor-patient relationships, impacting both the delivery of information and the patient\u2019s experience. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences to improve communication and provide culturally sensitive care in medical settings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
