Culinary Realia in Russian and Romanian: Lexical and Phraseological Correspondences

Summary/Abstract: Realia are minimal signs of culture, i.e. minimal (cultural) containers, incognitivist terms. They are objects and notions specific to a certain culture, which show the experiential and cultural basis accumulated over the centuries. By knowing realia objects and realia notions, we can gain insights into how to individualize a particular culture, what the realities-references of a community are, what its moral, axiological and spiritual values are, what the mental-cognitive similarities and differences between certain communities are, etc. Among the culturally-relevant elements, one may include culinary realia. The culinary field is a cultural-conceptual field, relevant to any society. This article aims to show how Russian words can be rendered with culinary specificity into Romanian. The Russian realia-units with their Romanian correspondences listed in this study will be included in a dictionary.
