The Greek Influence On Current Terminology

The Greek influence on the Romanian language occurred in successive stages. Words of Greek origin entered in all epochs, commencing with the period before the process of formation of the Romanian language started. The Greek influence on Latin in ancient times, the influence in the Byzantine period, the preponderance of the Greek element in the Romanian lexis, direct borrowings, indirect borrowings are some of the objectives of our research. The analytical and comparative methods are two of the methods used in the analysis.

One of the conclusions of the research is that the penetration of Greek elements has not remained without consequences in the dynamics of the Romanian lexis.
