ASPECTS OF POLITICAL-ADMINISTRATIVE LEXICON IN THE WORK OF A HISTORIAN-MORALIST: NICOLAE BĂLCESCU

Summary/Abstract: The political-administrative lexicon excerpted from the writer's work underlines the writer's effort to cultivate the language, to modernize the vocabulary, to express ideas accurately, to express the reality in constant transformation. The Latin-Romanic influence (prevalent in the latter half of the 19th century) on the Romanian lexicon is noteworthy, with Bălcescu using terms that entered Romanian directly from scholarly Latin, but also from Latin-Romance with multiple etymologies. Derived or compound Latin-Romanic borrowings are identified in the texts researched, which led to the assimilation into Romanian of some neological derivative affixes.
