Abstract: 

In paper the author considers features of functioning of professional and colloquial medical lexicon.

Professionals distinguish not only specialized preparation and qualification, but also possession of professional language. Professionalisms are so-called informal substitutes, colloquial equivalents of the terms legalized names of special concepts of any science
