Crâmpeie din vechea terminologie maritimă românească. Observații asupra dicționarului lui Teodor Corbea (Dictiones Latinae cum Valachica Interpretatione)

Abstract

Our presentation focuses on the maritime terminology operating in the Romanian medieval society. For a better configuration of the subject under investigation, we have selected samples of language phenomena from the lexicographic work of Teodor Corbea, dating back to the end of the 17th century and entitled Dictiones latinae cum valachica interpretatione – the most comprehensive lexicon of the old Romanian culture. Our research option is justified by the fact that, until the present moment, a systematic study of the beginnings of Romanian maritime terminology has not attracted the attention of either field specialists (linguists) or historians of Romanian navigation as such.
