Summary/Abstract: Abstract: This paper constitutes an analysis of the sandhi which appears in the inflectional forms of the contemporary Roumanian language. The sandhi is conceived here largely, as a set of all the process (both the phonological and the phonetic ones) which occur on the morphemes borders. The analysis is based on the phonological system created by Emanuel Vasiliu and on the morphological system developed for the Roumanian by the author of the this paper himself. The sandhi discerned in the structure of the inflectional root and in the structure of affixes is typical, in most cases, for the whole morphological system, as it represents palatalisations and depalatalisations, apocopes and epenthesis as well as vocalisations and devocalisations.
