Nybakken O.E. Greek and Latin in Scientific Terminology. - Iowa
State Press, 1959.
This book, in its broader aspect, deals with the subject of communication in science. In its narrower aspect, and most particularly, however, the book deals with the role of the Greek and Latin languages in the construction of the technical terms, names, and specific epithets used in the medical and biological sciences. Some consideration is given to a few of the more common linguistic and practical factors that relate to the structure, meaning, and pronunciation of scientific terms. The scope and arrangement of its contents are such that the book may be used for supplementary work in courses in language or in science, or it may be used as a textbook for a special course in the derivation of technical terms of science and medicine.
