The terms melancholia and depression are both exemplary for discourses on specific\r\ndisorder terms. The aim of this article is therefore to analyze the development of these two\r\nterms and to examine the diachronic relationship between melancholia and depression with\r\nreference to psychiatric-historical research literature. Based on a comprehensive corpus of\r\npsychiatric communication, consisting of texts from the end of the 18th century to the beginning\r\nof the 21st century, a contribution will be made to outline the history of psychiatry from\r\nits romantic beginnings to its emerging empirical-scientific linguistic style by analyzing the\r\nprocesses of term usages."}],"user_id":"67227","publication":"Sprachwissenschaft","quality_controlled":"1","page":"185-213","year":"2025"}
