The historical study of specialist registers normally starts at a point where there is no doubt about the existence of explicit specialist texts and comprehensive specialist vocabularies. Very little attention, on the other hand, has been given to the question of how we are to imagine the genesis of such a fully developed specialist language. Using the exemplar of medicine, this study examines the oldest texts handed down in German for evidence of structures pertaining to specialist language. The results are presented in a volume of analysis and an Old High German dictionary of medicine.Riecke, Jorg is the author of 'Die Fruhgeschichte Der Mittelalterlichen Medizinischen Fachsprache Im Deutschen', published 2004 under ISBN 9783110178289 and ISBN 3110178281.
