| Abstract: | We propose a short analysis on the topic of the French and English influences on legal Romanian and on the Romanian society from a diachronic, socio-terminological perspective supported by concrete examples taken from legal texts. Within the multilingual and multicultural context of challenges and issues that characterize the European Union, the Romanian legal language is continuously evolving. During the 19th century, the French language and legal culture were still playing an important role in the creation of the Romanian society and the “best possible world” was being built in the Romanian Principalities on a pattern brought to this Eastern part of Europe by the French diplomats, the Greek princes of the Istanbul neighborhood called Phanar and the Romanian political and cultural elites trained in France. In the 21st century, there has been an important shift in the field of linguistic, social and political influences, and the “American dream” has replaced the “French accent” in the perception of the ideas of modernization within the Romanian society. The globalization, but also the long-awaited English-speaking culture, penetrate the layers of today’s modern Romanian society and democracy in the making. The question we analyze has to do with the evolution of the legal language and the legal discourse in Romanian, more specifically the language of human rights, as it is one of the most permeable branches of the legal terminology, due to the abundance of international legislation in this field, as well as to the presence of many foreign NGOs in Romania. Our inquiries were directed to the official texts, lexicons, NGO texts, dictionaries as well as the general language practice. We took into account the pragmatic coordinates of the discourse, namely the author, the addressee, the real or presumed intention of the speaker, as well as its locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary effects. |
