PARTICULARITIES OF THE CONTEMPORARY POPULAR LANGUAGE. CASE STUDY
Journal Title: Revista Universitara de Sociologie - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The great Romanian writers consider the Romanian language as a peasant language, which has acquired "the specific charm and expressivity from its original maker, who was the peasant" (Rebreanu, in Ungheanu, 1999 :181) it is owed its development to this day, because it was the only one who has always spoken it. For this reason, the language spoken to today in the Romanian villages by the elderly people is a picturesque freshness, the words and expressions have much richer meanings, they are more flexible and full of nuances, according to the rhythm of life in constant movement and change. Through this paper we intend to analyze the sociological significance of popular language in general, respectively that of popular words (proverbs, sayings, idiomatic phrases) in particular from Oltenia's countryside. The approach was mainly exploratory. We used, as a main method of research, the participant observation ethically external, structured and unstructured. To identify the main words shape the lexicon of Oltenia's countryside, we made an observational study on elderly people in Dabuleni city. The observation aimed to identify some broadcast channels of the popular words and their intergenerational transmission, the contexts in which they are used, cultural elements that they reflect (values, norms, morals, stereotypes), this study bringing many innovative elements in this area.
