Medicine, wine, terminology and translation (German-Spanish)

Abstract

This paper aims to study the terminology of the wine language in the context of traditional medicine from a translational perspective. Subjected constantly to scientific updating, medical terminology is conditioned by the influence of other languages, as their long-lived Greco-Latin roots or the current English-speaking influence in health science. Likewise, wine consumption has a deep-rooted relationship with medicine, given its healing properties granted by traditional medicine throughout history and which nowadays also includes scientific medicine. Therefore, using research scientific documents, some aspects of the wine's lexicon are analysed in this article, with the principal objective of proposing a translation from German to Spanish of the term and its context, rethinking the relevance of its correct treatment.
