Fachdiskurs, Fachsprache und zentrale Konzepte von Palliativmedizin und Palliativversorgung im 21. Jahrhundert

Description

Palliative medicine has evolved into an independent medical discipline over the past 20 years. In this diachronic study, the ongoing institutionalization of palliative medicine is analyzed using corpus-linguistic methods. The gradual establishment of the new discipline is made comprehensible by analyzing a specialized text corpus containing more than 60 million words. At the same time, new methods of diachronic analysis of large corpora are explored within the scope of the study. A multi-perspective corpus design allows detailed insights into different phases of the history of modern palliative medicine. A concise description of key terms, values and attitudes makes it possible to grasp the essence of palliative care.
