Keywords: Anglicism; vocabulary; terminology of cosmetics

Summary/Abstract: The terminology of cosmetics is a field that places Romanian specialized vocabulary in direct relationship with common vocabulary and emphasizes the ability of the Romanian language to become richer through assimilated lexical loans, as well as by enhancing its lexical creativity (calques/loan translations, compounds, derivatives, etc.). The current study aims at presenting the Romanian terminology of cosmetics based on lexicographical definitions (CADE, DLRM, DEX1, DEX2, MDN, DCR3), starting from a corpus of cosmetic terms with high frequency in daily communication, in the media and advertising and playing an important role for the common vocabulary.
