RUMAÑOLA – O NOUĂ VARIETATE LINGVISTICĂ? DESPRE CREATIVITATEA DIN NECESITATE CA REZULTAT AL CONTACTULUI DINTRE DOUĂ CODURI LINGVISTICE
RUMAÑOLA – A NEW LINGUISTIC VARIETY? ON THE NECESSARY CREATIVITY AS A RESULT OF CONTACT BETWEEN TWO LINGUISTIC CODES

Summary/Abstract: The following pages describe the manner of speaking of a large number of Romanian residents of Spain after the year 2000. This typical hybrid manifestation produced by the contact between Romanian and Spanish was called rumañola and was considered, independently: a variety of the Romanian language (dialect / "imigralect"or language), an ethnolect, a transitive sociolect, an ephemeral product of a linguistic trend, or only a typical linguistic erosion (atrophy) of the Romanian immigrants in the first and the second generation in a well-defined socio-cultural context.The laying out of the linguistic and extra-linguistic causes (the typological similarity of the two languages, the limited competences of the locals in their native language and their low interest in its standardized version ...) which led to the emergence of this new lingua franca is followed by the presentation of the main lexical and morphosyntactical features of rumañole.
