CONSTRUCŢIA LINGVISTICĂ ÎN RSS MOLDOVENEASCĂ: ÎNTRE SLAVIZARE ŞI EFORTUL DE REVENIRE LA LIMBA ROMÂNĂ (ANII 1940-1960)

Abstract

The study addresses an important topic related to the evolution of language policy in the MSSR over two post-war decades. The authors analyze the scientific debates from the periods of Stalinism and Khrushchevist ,,thaw”, such as the manufacture of ,,Moldovan languages” hybrid, Latin-Slavic, the role of the scientific meetings of Soviet linguists, since 1951, 1955 and 1961 from Chisinau, in revealing the falsifications regarding the ,,Moldovan language”, in recognition of the Moldovan-Romanian linguistic identity. An important emphasis is placed on the reflection of the discussions launched in 1955-1956 in the press by researchers, which led to the approval by the authorities of the MSSR in August 1957, of the spelling norms of the ,,Moldovan language”, which was an important step towards its harmonization with the Romanian language.
