De Obşte Gheografie. Considerations on Synonymy

Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the phenomenon of synonymy displayed by a geographical text elaborated at the end of the 18th century. There are analyzed the synonymic series, observing their etymological structure, the weight held by lexical borrowing, loan-translations, translations and old terms in each synonymic series as well as their viability. The synonymic series are numerous, enriching the cult vocabulary of the literary language, highly contributing to the refining of its stylistic capacity. They demonstrate the author’s effort of creating an adequate scientific terminology, with all the insignia of modern science.
