Abstract
SVETLANA MARGARYAN, ALINA PETROSYAN - ON THE USAGE OF
SOUND METAPHORS IN DISEASE DIAGNOSTICS
The present paper studies a number of sound metaphors which are
used in the diagnostic process. When a physical assessment is performed,
percussion and auscultation are two techniques/methods of clinical
examination used. Both percussion and auscultation involve actions which
identify internal sounds of the body, coupled with the extra or abnormal
sounds of varying tonal quality. Drawing parallels between these abnormal
sounds and real-world phenomena, specialists denominate these sounds via
metaphoric constructs. In this case metaphors act as time-efficient tools in the
diagnostic process and distinctive markers of the identified pathology.
