Annotation In the field of Latin, the course focuses on understanding basic vocabulary and grammar. Content has been designed to meet the requirements and practical needs of students in Bachelor programmes of study and is closely connected with textbooks used in other subjects (e.g. Základy anatomie pro bakalářské studium, Univerzita Karlova, 3. LF, Praha 2001). Competence in Greek is limited to mastering basic vocabulary and orientation in word formation of Greek origins, mainly those used in pathology and clinical practice. Passive knowledge which enables students to understand most typical terms is required. After successful completion of the course, the student is expected to conceive of medical nomenclature as a logically functioning system based on precise relations and rules, not as a sum of isolated pieces of information which otherwise would require mechanical memorization of terms. The student´s ability to derive and improvise in the language is also expected to improve.

Aim of the course -

Last update: Mgr. Kristina Hellerová (28.09.2022)

Latin and classical Greek (in spite of the present-day dominant role of English) undoubtedly represent the pillars of international medical terminology. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the basics of the two classical languages and enable them to better understand the meaning and morphological structure of medical terms and also to help them better understand the grammatical structure of the terms.
