Summary/Abstract: The conclusions of the analysis presented in the paper mainly refer to the following aspects: (i) the re-assertion of the qualitative and quantitative importance of the French lexical element for the enrichment and modernization of the Romanian vocabulary; (ii) the role of French as an intermediary language forwords of non-French origin, scholary Latin words in particular; (iii) the many-sidedforms of the French influence; (iv) the correlation of the linguistic theory with the lexicographic activity, particulary in difficult cases like the multiple orcontroversial etymology words which may be taken either as internal wordformation or as borrowings.
