• Languages of publication: DE

Abstracts

EN

The present paper attempts to track the borrowing paths of some words in Romanian and neighbouring languages, which are possibly of Oriental (Ottoman, Arabic, Persian and rarer Kurdish) origin. In addition, some Romanian words of Turkic (e.g. Tatar) descent are investigated which have come from North East, via Ukrainian. The starting point are Romanian dialectal words found in ALR S. n. II. For the classification of origins and borrowing paths, linguistic geographical, phonetic and semantic criteria have been used.
