Summary/Abstract: Romanian linguistic policies from former times (19th century). The case of ideas promoted by Ion Ghica. In our study, we aim to discuss educational linguistic policies as they were perceived in the 19th century, when the Romanian society and implicitly the Romanian educational system suffered major transformations, noticeable especially when the school curricula (which had a structure that was not entirely different from the present one) were developed or reorganized. The thorough examination of these school documents helps us better understand the way in which linguistic policy evolved in Romania at a time when the connections with Western Europe were increasingly strong. Thereby, the beginnings of systematic learning of native and foreign languages were established. In our approach we will rely on a limited but dense corpus selected from writings by Ion Ghica, one of the personalities who were actively involved in the cultural progress of the Romanians.
