Limba slavonă și slavonismele în context românesc
The Church Slavonic Language and Church Slavonic loanwords in the Romanian Context

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to explain the complexity of the terminological and methodological issues related with the Church Slavonic Studies and to discuss its application to the study of Church Slavonic loanwords in Romanian. First, we compare the terminology related to the Church Slavonic studies used in Romanian and in other languages. This shows clearly that when using materials written within different local philological traditions, we may face various terminological concepts. Consequently, we focus on the stratification of Church Slavonic from the diatopic, diachronic and diaphasic point of view and show different varieties, which entered in contact with Romanian mainly in the period of the so- called Cultural Slavonism (14th – 16th/17th c.). This reminds us of the need to distinguish clearly the administrative varieties as well as the varieties in which the copied and originally composed texts were written. Further, we focus on the criteria able to identify Church Slavonic loanwords in Romanian. In that place, we sum up the result of the previous research by various authors and add some new ideas. At the end, we show the possibilities to identify various layers within the group of Church Slavonic loanwords by applying different perspectives.
