title: [The Friday lections of J.M. Charcot].
abstract: Studies of the life and work of Jean Martin Charcot (1825-1893) carried out over the last fifteen years all see in him one of the figures mainly responsible for the constitution of clinical neurology as a specific area of research, in particular in French-speaking areas. The aim of this study is to analyse, by the use of computational linguistic technique, the language of his lessons to demonstrate a rhetoric use of verbs to obtain the verdict from the jury of disciplines: the disease's name.
