Abstract
This article examines the main features of Latin/Spanish code-switching in Medieval and Renaissance Spanish medical texts and its functions. The first sections discuss the theoretical implications of code-switching, specifically when studying written texts, and the history of Spanish medical writing. The following sections describe the code-switching structures and the discursive functions of this practice. It is argued that Latin code-switching relates to: a) terminological issues, b) citation and intertextuality and c) manuscript organization. Additionally, it is claimed that the Latin elements function as a writing practice through which the authors guide their readers and also position themselves. With the use of Latin citations, the author conveys a positive image of himself as a learned person and manages to display different voices which help support and validate his own arguments.
