PARTICULARITĂȚI FONETICE ALE TEXTELOR DE CĂLĂTORIE DIN SECOLUL AL XIX-LEA
PHONETIC FEATURES OF 19TH CENTURY TRAVEL TEXTS

Summary/Abstract: From a phonetic point of view, the literary language of the 19th century, as reflected in the travel writings of the time, has variations determined by the transition alphabets and the influence of regional dialects. The evolution tendencies of the language, at phonetic level, are the approach to the Wallachian variant and the adoption of new phonetics, to the detriment of the old ones, definitively abandoned. Towards the end of the century, the number of fluctuating forms decreases, registering an obvious tendency of unification and balancing of the phonetic structure of the Romanian literary language. In this paper we aim to present some phonetic features that characterize the writings of the nineteenth century, accompanied by examples excerpts from 19 travel texts analyzed, which is a valuable material on the literary norms of the time.
