PROGRESSIVE DERIVATION DURING THE 17th CENTURY
PROGRESSIVE DERIVATION DURING THE 17th CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Prefixation and suffixation are among the most important means by which the Romanian vocabulary expanded in the seventeenth century. Although the use of Slavonic as cult language was seen as halting the natural evolution of Romanian language, it had introduced many terms of Slavonic and Byzantine origin, thereby refining the religious terminology. Having as support texts: The Universal Chronicle and The Signification of Holy Liturgy written by Mihail Moxa, the study will observe the share that certain prefixes and suffixes had in enriching the Romanian lexic.
