摘要：Language sciences are one of those research fields which ensure their perpetuation by the very subject matter thereof. In contrast, the scientific endeavours which aim at its study must stand the test of time, or, more precisely, that of progress. In our opinion, besides proving the validity and accuracy of the scientific content gathered within such an endeavour, another prerequisite for achievement, not insignificant at all, resides in the express or implied stakes of the approach to the issue dealt with. Thus, in the majority of cases, the fundamental works which managed to persist offer a glimpse of the general matter beyond the particular and individual facts represented by the different historical languages taken separately, offering some insight into the whole configuration beyond the component elements thereof represented by the different domains of the languages in question; in short, they show the generic manoeuvring mechanisms of the common activity and product known as “language”. In this respect, only a few Romanian linguists have succeeded in turning the study of Romanian language into a universal subject matter of knowledge, attempting at the same time to place Romanian linguistics within the realm of general linguistics. Among them there is Alexandru Philippide, “the greatest Romanian linguist of all times, perhaps the only one who stands effortlessly alongside the great linguists of the world” (Gafton, Postface to vol. II, 2015).
