Abstract
This work studies the birth of clinical neurology as a medical specialization in relation to Jean Martin Charcot (1825–93). Charcot is presented as the founder of French neurology, and not as the Charcot popularized for his work on hypnotism and hysteria—work which inspired and characterized even the literary fiction of his time. The study of the language used by Charcot holds a privileged place in Dibattista's book. Liborio Dibattista, a clinical pathologist with a second degree in philosophy and a PhD in history of science, aims—with the support of computational linguistics—to demonstrate how crucial Charcot's work was to the formation of neurology.
