Thesis (Ph.D.)--Georgia State University, 1984.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the formal medical vocabulary in use by physicians and whether it changed significantly over time. A secondary purpose was to determine the constituent morphemes of the terminology and whether they changed significantly over time.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the formal medical vocabulary in use by physicians and whether it changed significantly over time. A secondary purpose was to determine the constituent morphemes of the terminology and whether they changed significantly over time.
520 $a Research Methodology. A 100,000-word sample of the medical terminology contained in ten 1982 issues of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) was analyzed, resulting in a list of medical terms used, ordered from the most-frequently used to the least-frequently used. Each term was then reduced to its constituent morphemes which were then sorted in order of decreasing frequency.
520 $a This process was then replicated for a comparable number of issues of JAMA for ten years previously (1972).
520 $a Results. The primary result of this research is a frequency-sorted listing of the medical vocabulary used by physicians in ten issues of the 1982 JAMA. A secondary result was a similar listing of terms from the 1972 JAMA.
520 $a The morphemes constituting these terms were analyzed similarly, resulting in two listing of morphemes sorted in decreasing frequency.
520 $a No significant differences were noted between the two sets of chronologically displaced samples, either at the term or morpheme levels. A correlation coefficient was computed for each of the two comparisons. It was greater than 0.9 in both cases, indicating little change in either terms or morphemes over the ten-year period.
520 $a Implications. The word- and morpheme-frequency lists resulting from this research may be helpful in designing the content of medical terminology texts. Terms or morphemes used most frequently may be taught first, and level of instruction may be adjusted by altering the cutoff point to suit the objectives of the text.
520 $a In addition, the techniques developed during this research may be helpful in analysis of the terminology of other disciplines for educational purposes.
