Denumiri pentru noțiunea „chibrit” în limba română
Names for the Concept of "Match" in Romanian

Summary/Abstract: The creativity of popular speech offers us a wealth of names for the concept of a match, constructed either by analogy, through semantic kinship with the lexical field of the concept of "fire," or by derivation with diminutives, a phenomenon that results in so-called "false diminutives," since the formative obtained has no diminutive meaning. In many cases, terms borrowed from other languages are recorded for the concept of a match.
