Abstract

This study investigates the semantic relations of phrases used in the naming of human diseases in Indonesian, focusing on how these linguistic structures convey meaning in medical terminology. In analyzing disease names, the research uses paraphrase technique to find out the semantic relationships within the phrases. The findings demonstrate that disease names in Indonesian are constructed using descriptive phrases that reflect symptoms, affected body parts, and causal factors, often revealing culturally embedded perspectives on illness. This semantic analysis not only enhances our understanding of the structure and meaning of disease names in Indonesian but also provides valuable insights into how language organizes medical knowledge and communicates health concepts to the broader public.
