UNITĂȚI POLILEXICALE STABILE DE ORIGINE LIVREASCĂ: CAUZE EXTRALINGIVSTICE MOTIVAȚIONALE
Stable Polylexical Units of Librarian Origin: Motivational Extralinguistic Causes

Summary/Abstract: We regard stable polilexical units (SPUs) that are of foreign origin as general to a large number of languages. And the other SPUs must be seen as indigenous, having their origin in Romanian, even if they have conformity forms in other languages. The attestation of similar SPUs in the third languages can be explained by various reasons. We conclude that, in terms of origin, SPUs can be divided into two large groups: indigenous and general. General SPUs entered the language in an oral way, with the emergence of the need to name the given reality. However, the motivation for their use is determined by the degree of culture and familiarity with literary texts of the person in question. In the present article, we intend to analyze some general SPUs with extralinguistic motivation, updating them at the discourse level through examples taken from various sources, thus aligning ourselves with Eugeniu Coseriu's opinion that language facts must be viewed at the levels of language, speaking and discourse, thus reflecting the three levels of language - the universal level of speech activity; the historical level of languages and the particular level of discourse. The aspects mentioned come to once again confirm the Coseriu’s thesis that a language is a historical product and, at the same time, an instrument of linguistic thought.
