Abstract
Medical discourse reflects not only professional communication but also cultural values, beliefs, and social norms. This study examines the linguacultural characteristics of medical discourse across different cultural contexts, focusing on communication strategies, terminology usage and doctor patient interaction patterns. The study contributes to a better understanding of intercultural communication in healthcare settings.References
