QUELQUES RÉFLEXIONS SUR LA PRÉSENCE DES XÉNISMES EN ROUMAIN DANS LES GUIDES TOURISTIQUES FRANÇAIS SUR LA ROUMANIE
ON THE PRESENCE OF ROMANIAN XENISMS IN FRENCH TOURIST GUIDES ON ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: In our paper, we aim to address the issue of xenisms in Romanian language from the discourse of current French tourist guides, about Romania, and to understand the motivation for the presence of exotic words in this type of text.Our objectives are to inventory xenisms and identify possible practical reasons that explain the presence of vernacular vocabulary in tourist guides. In this regard, we will proceed to the quantitative analysis of the electronic working corpus, consisting of four guides: Guides Bleus Évasion. Roumanie (GB 2004), Guide Vert Roumanie Michelin (GV 2008), Le guide du routard. Roumanie (GR 2018), Le Petit Futé Roumanie (GPF 2018). Our approach is based on the exploitation of linguistic data with the help of textual data analysis programs IRaMuTeQ and Cordial Pro, statistical measurements will also be followed by qualitative analysis of the corpus. Based on quantifiable lexemes, the research reveals the extent to which linguistic elements of this type reflect the local culture, illustrated by words rendered without altering the script, without morphological adaptation in the host language.
