DUPLICATE NAMES PROBLEM IN TERMINOLOGIA ANATOMICA
The article describes features of coding cardiovascular terms of the international anatomical terminology. The relevance of the research is due to the need to study the organization of a large array of anatomical terms, the adequate use of which, especially in a pandemic and the widespread prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, can affect not only the quality of treatment, but also the effectiveness of professional interaction between members of international medical teams. The aim of the study is to identify imperfections in an ordered terminological array represented by the units included in it. Goal achievement required the formation of studied sets in Russian, English and Latin by methods of continuous and partial sampling with further statistical data processing and determination ofpossible options for placing several items under one code by methods of comparative, contrastive and component analyzes. Linguistic phenomena were studied by analyzing dictionary definitions, semantics and components of the term-phrases, which allowed identifying the most rational terminological array according to the data obtained. In a number of cases, the use of multiple nomination looked like a logical and deliberate decision, but this tendency was not always observed. The leveling of undesirable phenomena in medical terms requires further researches of terminological list organization and the determination of the most optimal algorithm for encoding anatomical structures. The process of anatomical terminology unification can be a promising direction for further studies.
