Domenii de îmbogățire a vocabularului actual din limbile română și bulgară
Areas of enrichment of current vocabulary in Romanian and Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the thematic spheres of the recent Romanian and Bulgarian lexicon enriched by neologisms in the latest period of the evolution of the two languages, i.e. the time after 1989 until now. The new vocabulary of the two languages (lexical units, fixed word combinations or new meanings; loanwords, loanshifts and loan translations or newly coined words) is distributed by areas, such as: Politics and Society, European Integration, Economy and Finance, Education, Health, Information and Communication Technologies, Culture and Arts, Everyday Life, Sports etc. Taking into consideration the same extralinguistic context, a lot of common features have been observed: identical thematic groups comparable by their size, appearance of analogical new concepts, lexicon internationalization. In certain cases there are some particularities which are due to a concrete linguistic decision each language has made: a borrowing or a loan, a new lexical unit or a new meaning, a specific concept, a stylistically marked item, etc.
