TERMINOLOGICAL ORIENTATION OF THE LATIN LANGUAGE COURSE IN A HIGHER MEDICAL INSTITUTION AS A PEDAGOGICAL PROBLEM

Abstract

Abstract. In the article, a comprehensive study of the problem of forming terminological competence in the process of teaching Latin to future pharmacy specialists is carried out. The main principles of formation of terminological competence of future pharmacists are analyzed. The main tasks of studying the Latin language in a medical higher educational institution are outlined - to master pharmaceutical terminology based on phonetics, spelling, morphology with elements of the syntax of Latin grammar. It is noted that pharmaceutical terminology is one of the most important factors both in the educational process and in practical pharmacy. The necessity of unifying pharmaceutical terminology and nomenclature and harmonizing special pharmaceutical terminology with the terminology of the European Pharmacopoeia is substantiated. It is emphasized that the problems of standardizing the pharmaceutical terminological system are related to the presence of synonymy. It is emphasized that the names of oxides and salts, which do not correspond to the norms of the grammar of the Latin language, are connected with the influence on the chemical nomenclature of the English language, where there is no case system. It is shown that due to the lack of general transliteration rules in the names of medicinal products, there is a tendency for differences in the writing of individual term elements. To unify pharmaceutical terminology, it is recommended to develop a generally accepted national standard for the formation and use of conventional names of medicinal products.
