ANALIZA LEXICOGRAFICĂ A ÎMPRUMUTURILOR LEXICALE DE ORIGINE FRANCEZĂ ÎN DEX2 ‒ 2016 (I)

Abstract

Contemporary Romanian vocabulary is currently heterogeneous, which is due to the many linguistic influences it has suffered along the times. While, in the old ages of the history of literary Romanian language, Slavic, Greek, Neo-Greek, Russian, Hungarian etc. lexical elements helped enrich the internal structure of the vocabulary, the latter has been reconfigured as of the modern period, since previous linguistic models are replaced by Romance ones. Against this background, loanwords from scholarly Latin, which were taken over directly by the other Romance languages, enter Romanian language by means of French, Italian, etc., accelerating the modernisation of the lexicon, which is coined as re-latinisation in scientific literature.
