Electronic Romanian-English Contrastive Collection of Food Set Phrases. Methodological Aspects

Summary/Abstract: This project’s main objective is the elaboration of an electronic Romanian-English contrastive collection of food set phrases. This research intends to make use of digital scientific lexicographical methods in the field of phraseology, providing an answer to the challenge regarding the research strategies of the language study from the perspective of cultural universals and cultural specificity. Even if the cross-linguistic similarities of set phrases according to their cultural foundations seem to gain ground in today’s research, the electronic collections are less convincing. We believe that the contrastive research of the phraseological structures of two languages must overcome syntactical formalism by studying homologous onomasiological fields digitally developed. The study of the fixed structures of languages directly connected to the real, in our case, to nourishment, is an answer to Eugeniu Coşeriu’s challenge regarding the various demands of linguistic research which, as compared with other subjects, entails the most numerous connections with man’s way of being in general.Bringing together language and reality in the digital space represents the most important challenge of the proposed research. An electronic Romanian-English contrastive collection of food set phrases, systemically organized according to digital markers, is, to our knowledge, the first attempt at an electronic revaluation of a bilingual onomasiological field of set phrases.
