Plea of Two Matters: chestiune or (/and) chestie

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the current use of the terms chestiune and chestie, in order to highlight their common and different features. Since the study is qualitative in nature, the descriptive method is employed for analysis and interpretation. The article mainly focuses on the semantic dynamics of the noun chestie, so as to introduce and discuss it as an independent lexeme, and not as a variant. The examples have been taken from web-based sources such as blogs, discussion forums, websites, online media and readers’ comments on journal articles, social media sites and apps, etc. There are two stages in this approach: the first one corresponds to the year 2013 (presentation of partial results) and the second one is based on research for the years 2021-2022.
