Examples of eponymeponym We have seen that this eponym has been widely accepted. Second, there is still a lack of agreement on the construction of eponyms. The eponym has only been used as a synonym for a communication between the left ventricle and the right atrium. As will be shown below, medical eponyms can also employ names from nonmedical areas, where typicality rather than priority is commemorated. The attachment of multiple eponyms to the same or a similar name, nonetheless, can be a source of confusion. Some of these occur several times and there are 61 distinct eponyms in all. Since there is a large number of eponyms in medicine, medical students have to be made familiar with them from an early stage. But the questions of which function/s an eponym, or a more descriptive synonym, fulfils, can only be answered for each individual case. Medical eponyms are therefore both praised and condemned for the same feature, namely for being less precise than the rest of medical nomenclature. In so doing, she touched upon the question of the status of eponyms in modern medical terminology. Dictionaries of medical eponyms typically list synonyms, a definition and the person whom the eponym is dedicated to, sometimes including a few biographical dates. The problem is heightened by the fact that some eponyms are not specifically descriptive without further qualification. In such eponyms, of course, the possessive is never used. The use of so-called implies either that the eponym has not yet become widely accepted, or that this particular author has not used it frequently. With an integrated approach, the student will come to know a large number of eponyms and, by the end of the studies, be able to use them confidently. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web. Any opinions in the examples do not represent the opinion of the Cambridge Dictionary editors or of Cambridge University Press or its licensors. |
