Observaţii lingvistice asupra unor texte private (= scrisori) din Basarabia anilor 1957–1994
Linguistic Remarks on Some Private Texts (= Letters) from Bessarabia During 1957-1994

Summary/Abstract: Based on a corpus of five private letters, addressed by the locals from Cornova, Orhei district, Bessarabia, to a refugee from Romania after 1944, included in the same monography, the paper makes some linguistic remarks on the local dialect. The author assimilates the letters to the category of dialectal texts, type „GN,” mentioning that they were developed and noted at the sender’s initiative. Therefore, starting from the assumption that the peasant-authors expressed themselves in their own dialect, we aim to reveal the dialectal features inherent to them, emphasizing the fundamental quality of this type of writings: the orality.
