| Opis: | The present thesis is based on the use of medical acronyms and initialisms in the American TV series House MD as compared to that of medical doctors in Slovenia. The main aim is to determine which medical acronyms are most frequently used in the series and whether they coincide with the acronyms that Slovene doctors use in their work.
The second aim is to establish the prevalent language of origin for medical acronyms and initialisms. The theoretical part of the thesis begins with a brief history of acronyms and initialisms, followed by a list of word-formation processes, pronunciation issues and the use of articles with acronyms.
The practical part is divided into two sections. The first section covers the transcriptions of the second season of House MD with its twenty-four episodes, where every episode is accompanied by a short data analysis that presents all the medical acronyms featured in the episode. The analysis also includes information as to whether the acronyms are explained in the course of the show, and who uses them (medical or non-medical staff).
The second section features four interviews with Slovene doctors from various medical fields (from emergency doctors, physiatrist to veterinarian). The interviews were conducted in Slovene, but the English translations are provided as well for foreign readers. The main focus of the thesis is on determining which medical acronyms are most commonly used, which are loanwords, and the impact of social status on the use of acronyms in speech. |
