Abstract

Rhetorical interference is considered one of the most important reasons affecting the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Communication is the prominent factor that documents the good understanding between the patient and the doctor. Moreover, Robert Fillon's study confirmed that interferences and interruptions cause the occurrence of arguments and complexes that may cause confusion in the patient's direction of his thought about the doctor, and as Ruusuvuori explained that two speakers may make the occurrence of success, which guarantees the quality of the dialogue, or failure in understanding, which may lead to interferences or rhetorical interruptions. The purpose of this paper is an exploratory and analytical study of the discursive overlaps and discontinuities between the patient and the clinician. This study carried out the analysis of records of patients with epilepsy and the results of dealing with medical specialists. Based on previous studies, medical specialists use some words or phrases that they understand epilepsy patients to facilitate the method of dialogue and interaction between them so as not to generate any interruptions or rhetorical overlaps in dialogue or understanding for the purpose of flexibility in taking treatment.The results showed that the practice of imparting knowledge is an important means of spreading scientific knowledge through expert discourse itself, which contains its share of paraphrases, metaphors, and other linguistic signs that the study was able to identify and define. This study proposed to present the discoveries of their theoretical grounding in the linguistic sciences and, more specifically, in the analysis of discourse. Using interaction analysis methodology, it was necessary to collect, transcribe, and analyze a body of authentic speeches to understand the linguistic mechanisms applied in imparting knowledge during the clinician/patient interaction. Doctor-patient communication has shown that the core of important therapeutic and social issues, so understanding and improving them are the subject of real social demand and can, therefore, be of interest to a wide audience. To conclude that, it was necessary to collect, transcribe, and analyze a collection of authentic speeches to understand the linguistic mechanisms applied in imparting knowledge during this interaction between the clinician and the patient. Doctor-patient communication is at the heart of important therapeutic and social issues, so its understanding and improvement are the subject of real social demand and, therefore, can be of interest to a wide audience.
