An Analysis of the Current Gastronomical Lexicon
The article aims to observe the way in which neologisms in the gastronomic area are processed in current Romanian language.
Three situations are reported: one in which the neologism is imposed as a result of the need to name the notion, a second in which the neologism takes the form of barbarism or xenism and circulates next to the local term, and a third in which the neologism or neological structure is taken over through copying and gets close to linguistic snobbery.
Keywords: gastronomical lexicon, Romanian neologisms, barbasisms, linguistic borrowings.
