Borrowings in Orthography or the just letter toward the atonement of Romanian language writers, by Constantin Diaconovici

Summary/Abstract: Orthography or the just letter toward the atonement of Romanian language writers dates back to the end of 18th century and the beginning of the 19th which makes it easy to read. When it comes to Loga’s Orthography and the lexical particularities, we can say that it is varied. Apart from the common language, dialect, neologisms and ways of enriching the language like: assigning new meanings, derivatives formed within the language and borrowings. In this paper we have tried to make a partial inventory of borrowed words and trace their origin. One can easily notice that, next to the presence of a large number of borrowings from Latin, a preference for words which have their roots in the Mosaic language, Modern Greek, Bulgarian, Medieval Latin, German etc., is also quite obvious. The text is remarkable in its ease in the use of language, ease in utterance that the author posses, thus giving him the possibility to construct a new grammatical terminology filled with assigned new meanings that are much more accessible to the large masses. He also succeeds in defining the newly introduced terms and explains them clearly and concisely thus adding the neological term as well, which usually has Latin roots.
