Abstract: Gastronomic Terminology of Slavic Origin in Romanian. This article aims to discuss some aspects concerning the gastronomic terminology of Slavic origin (from Old Slavic, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Serbian, Polish), which penetrated into Romanian at different sociocultural stages. Our analysis takes as a basis the specialized lexicon excerpted in Dicționarul explicativ al limbii române (DEX) (“The Explanatory Dictionary of the Romanian Language”), Micul dicționar academic (MDA) (“The Little Academic Dictionary”), as well as the words excepted on the Internet (this type of lexicon being nowadays an unrivaled source of enrichment of a language with the borrowings from other languages). The terminological elements discussed here are grouped into two categories, according to the period of their penetration into the language, their methods of penetration, but also according to the place they currently occupy in specialized works (notably in dictionaries, scientific works). The novelty of this research consists above all in the identification and study of Slavic gastronomic borrowings recently penetrated into Romanian.
