ABSTRACT

Objective: Based on bibliographic research, the importance of linguistics in the medical field will be analyzed and we will know the definitions that are given of Legal Medicine and Forensic Medicine and other words, to know if they are attached to semantics and, if not, specify them to improve and unify, in Mexico, the medical language. Development of the topic. The definition of words such as: tooth, autopsy, autopsy and necrotomy is disclosed, and whether these descriptions are consistent with the use given to them in forensic medical practice. The definitions and competences attributed to the «Medical Jurisprudence», «Legal Medicine» and «Forensic Medicine» are transcribed, nationally and internationally, and those of different authors are compared to know which ones are based on the good use of the linguistics, ending with precise definitions, hoping to standardize the good use of language and lexicographical reasoning. Conclusion: Definitions and areas of competence of legal medicine and forensic medicine were established, in order to achieve coherent teaching programs in Mexico and make professional, academic, lexicographic, social and legal knowledge of the attributions of each of these medical specialties are real.
