TRACES OF SERBIAN-ROMANIAN LINGUISTIC CONTACT IN MORPHOSYNTAX. THE INDEFINITE PARTICLE – GODE IN THE BANAT SUBDIALECT OF ROMANIAN LANGUAGE
(Abstract)
In this article, the author aims to highlight a grammatical, structural, and functional property that is used in a subdialect of Romanian (from the Banat region), namely the indefinite particle -GODE. Its presence in this region is based on a long-term Serbian-Romanian linguistic contact, as this particle is specific to the Serbian language, in which it has a similar usage.
As can be seen, by means of partial calque, this type of usage in the Serbian language was transmitted to Romanian Banatian subdialects (particularly those from the southwestern part of the region). It is of note that the grammatical particle in question prevailed whilst competing with older particles of Latin origin.
The viewpoints taken into consideration are numerous, with the etymological, lexical, grammatical, and dialectal perspectives taking precedence. For adequate argumentation, the author has based their opinion on linguistic facts gathered from linguistic atlases, dialectal glossaries, folkloric collections and materials from so-called Banat literature, and also from field research.
The novelty brought forward by this study is that, up to the present, in pages of specialized literature, there is no significant synthetic contribution to the knowledge of the place and role of this particle within the Romanian language.
Keywords: Romanian, subdialect (Banat), indefinite particle, grammar, pronouns, adjectives and adverbs.
Cuvinte-cheie: limba română, subdialectul bănăţean, particulă indefinită, gramatică, pronume, adjective şi adverbe.
