Abstract

This article explores the semantic-paradigmatic analysis of medical terminology, focusing on the relationships and structures that underpin medical language. By examining the paradigmatic relationships between terms, this study aims to elucidate the complexity of medical vocabulary and its implications for clinical communication. Findings suggest that understanding these relationships can improve clinical decision-making and patient comprehension.
