Sufixarea cu elemente latinești în procesul de formare a substantivelor deverbale caracteristice textelor religioase
Suffixation with Latin Morphemes Used in the Formation Process of Deverbal Nouns Specific to Religious Texts

Summary/Abstract: Deverbal nouns frequently occur in the corpus of religious texts, predominantly in acathistis texts. Their abundance requires a thorough research. The present article is mainly focused to highlight the relevance/ratio of Latin inheritance to religious terminology not so much in terms of loans, as in the process of word-formation. Suffixation with Latin morphemes is a productive process not only in non-canonical language but also in the religious one. Attaching such suffixes to the end of a stem creates/generates deverbals that can be attributed to different semantic classes: action nouns, nouns of state of mind, agent nouns, nouns in the instrumental case, name of places or temporal notions. Terms, achieved by means of the above mentioned process, convey fundamental notions of faith, terms with religious connotation and also lexemes from common language.
