ANCHETA DIALECTALĂ PRELIMINARĂ A ZONEI CODRU
PRELIMINARY DIALECTAL SURVEY OF CODRU AREA

Summary/Abstract: This study represents an overview of the preliminary dialectal research of the Codru area, a Romanian zone that overlaps, from geographical and administrative point of view, over three counties: Satu Mare, Maramureș and Sălaj.The ethnographic delimitation of this space will be followed throughout the survey, by questions addressed to the inhabitants, regarding their belonging or the affiliation of other inhabitants from the neighboring villages to the Codru area.We found out that this mental space has some specific folkloric features: the speech/the idiom, the approaching or the distance from Făget ridge, the peculiarities of the popular ports, the presence of famous wooden barns decorated with traditional motifs, customs, traditions, superstitions. The speech is an important and representative element of the identity of these people. Thus, the purpose of this study is to highlight some linguistic features that we observed during the dialectal survey.The aspects presented in this article represent some landmarks and examples; they are the most obvious and specific language facts that we have found out, but we intend that all the research we have started to be complex, original and innovative, to bring a contribution in Romanian dialectology.
