Middle and Early Modern English Medical Recipes: Some Notes on Specialised Terminology

Abstract: One of the text-type features of a recipe is a certain degree of technical lexicon (cf. Görlach 2004). The aim of the present study is to compare the use and distribution of selected group of terms, here references to medical preparations, in Middle and Early Modern English recipe collections. Particular attention will be given to the factors responsible for the choice of terms. Also, we will concentrate on the rivalry between native and foreign lexical units.

“…Desde la perspectiva del tipo de texto, los análisis han girado alrededor de las características formales y lingüísticas. Entre los rasgos que han sido señalados como prototípicos de las recetas médicas, se incluyen formas verbales en modo imperativo, cláusulas breves y paratácticas, secuencias temporales, supresión del objeto, uso de préstamos y vocabulario técnico (Bator y Sylwanowicz, 2017;Sylwanowicz, 2018).
