Continuité vs. discontinuité formelle et sémantico-stylistique dans la Romania : à propos de quelques termes religieux hérités du latin (II)
Continuity vs. Formal and Semantic-Stylistic Discontinuity in Romania: on some Religious Terms Inherited from Latin (II)

Summary/Abstract: A corpus which includes words having a narrow diffusion in a particular linguistic area (such as Romania) puts the problem of linguistic fragmentation / discontinuity within the limits of this area. Narrow is in this case most frequently opposed to large and even to pan-romance, which directs the search towards finding the linguistic means used by most idioms in a certain aria for expressing the same concepts (religious concepts in our case). That kind of corpus implies also a search into the reasons of different lexical realizations in genetically related languages.The second part of our study deals with considering certain Latin words that were the subject of dispute among linguists in terms of their (direct) continuity in neo-Latin space, and with reaching relevant conclusions as far as the specificity of Romanian language within Romance context and some aspects of convergence are concerned.
