ENRICHISSEMENT DU VOCABULAIRE MÉDICAL WOLOF : ÉTUDE DE QUELQUES PROCÉDÉS MORPHOSYNTAXIQUES ET SÉMANTIQUES

This article presents a series of lexical forms useful for the expression of medical knowledge in Wolof. We shall analyse the medical terms in terms of derivation, composition, borrowing and neologisms. We will describe these medical terms in terms of both morphosyntaxic and semantic traits. This lexicological, morphosyntaxic and semantic reflection helps to show the linguistic scope of medical terms designed to facilitate language interactions between patients and staff and their importance in the dynamics of the Wolof language.
