Understanding and use of phrasal verbs and idioms in medical/nursing texts
1Department of Foreign Languages, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, Martin, Slovakia. polakova@jfmed.uniba.sk
Abstract:
Phrasal verbs and idioms are frequently used in everyday English. They are also used in more specific language as equivalents for special terms. The use of phrasal verbs and idioms by native patients and health care workers makes their communication easier and less confusing. Non-native medical workers often come across with English phrasal verbs (idioms) in authentic texts and communication. They should be able to recognize them and after analyzing their meaning include them into their own active vocabulary (Ref. 5).
