TI - To much of a good thing? The case of synonymity in Italian medical terminology in Polish translation
AB - 
	The article is based on comparative analysis of Italian medical documents translated in Polish. A short introduction to Italian and Polish medical terminology and their history will illustrate characteristics of medical language and potential difficulties that a translator may encounter in this kind of texts. In the article a particular attention will be dedicated to synonyms of medical terms that exist both in Italian and in Polish, but sometimes they do not correspond to the same concepts and what’s more, some of them may cause so-called register mismatch in target text.
