Sažetak

Languages for Specific Purposes (LSPs) are imperative of modern social development.The language of medicine is founded on Greco-Latin terminology and has specific lexical and discourse features.The global spread of science and technology has made the English language lingua franca of international communication. Due to huge development of medical science and practice, the English language of medicine has become the leading language. Modern medicine has trans-gressed the boundaries of the Greco-Latin terms and must create a new terminology for medical branches, illnesses and disorders, state-of-the-art technology and the pharmaceutical industry.The English language of medicine has been extensively studied. It serves as a model for other nations as to how to create their languages of medicine which are under its strong influence. Medicine has numerous specializations and subspecializations which require specific language of medicine. It is necessary to organise LSP teacher education at philological faculties.
