摘要:Lately, in the context of Romanian linguistics, one may notice a turn of perspective, shaped as a switch of interest from synchronic to diachronic investigation of language. The concern for diachronic studies, for decades accounted as a constant preoccupation by a (increasingly) reduced number of researchers, appears to exhibit a new spirit today. More and more researchers who used to be committed to synchronous studies or young doctoral students re-evaluate through their work a language material until recently ignored or engage in collective projects of diachronic investigation, contributing to a revival of the linguistic research by confronting the old Romanian linguistic data to a new theoretical apparatus.
