Alecu Russo,the Romanian language and the Transylvanians.Comments on the Romanian language

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to carry out a linguistic analysis of some of Alecu Russo’s texts included in Scrieri Alese, which help understand both the linguistic debates of that time and the criticism brought to Transylvanian scholars, especially to the members of the Şcoala Ardeleană who greatly contributed to the Romanization of the Romanian language in the attempt to remove Slavic drawbacks, enrich the Romanian culture and facilitate access to knowledge. Although these texts were previously tackled by literary historians throughout the years, the ideas in the texts were less frequently studied in Romanian Linguistics articles. The analysis of these (micro) texts aims to highlight Alecu Russo’s contributions to the defense and illustration of the Romanian language.
