Michał Kozanecki

I am a first-year postgraduate student at the Doctoral School of the University of the National Education Commission in Krakow in the discipline of Linguistics, since October 2024. I graduated with a Bachelor’s and master’s degree in English Philology, at the Institute of English Philology (IFA UP), from. 2016-2019 -2021, in the discipline of Linguistics with specialisations in: Translation Techniques and Translation Studies. My two dissertations were devoted to issues related to specialised language and its translation, terminology, working with text corpora, creating dictionaries and medical language. I am also a student at the Institute of UKEN’s Institute of Neophilology majoring in Ukrainian Philology.

My dissertation aims to analyse and define the methodology of translational work with a new type of medical documentation, that is the physiotherapy documentation, included by the Polish legislator in the group of medical records. The recipients of these guidelines will be mainly students and graduates of translation studies and students of medical and non-medical faculties: physiotherapy and nursing faculties. The dissertation intends to explore the distinctiveness of the as yet unstandardised Physiotherapy language, against the background of general medical language. by showing how the language of physiotherapy looks today in Polish language and what factors shape it.
