ABSTRACT

There is a discursive register rarely studied in specialized medical language. It deals with the jargon or slang used by these professionals in their daily communication. These diverse ways of speaking are denominated indistinctly in Spanish language, in such a way that, linguists, grammarians and philologists have not yet established the limits of each term. Medical slang is only reserved to doctors and health staff like all common slang among professionals, and in this sense, it shares with other slangs the same characteristics of a specialized language. We consider slang as a rich communicative phenomenon due to its contribution to our language that is why it should be studied much more.
