The article analyzes the use of medical terminology in poetry of the Soviet period (20-70s of the XX century). Consideration of the texts of such poets as E. Asadov, A. Voznesensky, M. Tsvetaeva, B.

The article shows that medical terms easily enter the composition of metaphors, occasionalisms, neologisms, acquire new connotative and emotive shades of meaning.

The article uses the techniques of the structural-semiotic method and conceptual analysis.
