SULLE GLOSSE PARENTENTICHE NEL "REGLEMENT ORGANICESC A MOLDOVEI" (1831)

This paper aims to analyse the parenthetical glosses in the original version of the Organic Regulation of the Principality of Moldova (1831). These glosses constitute a linguistic distillate of the complex cultural mixture that characterise the Romanian elites around the passing from the late 18th to the early 19th century, as a product of the broadening and deepening contact with Western European culture(s). The analysis of how the glossed element relates to the entirety of the text of the Regulation shows indeed, that, under the apparent uniformity given by the compliance in form to a prototypical abstract model, the parenthetical glosses in the Organic Regulation answer, in reality, in quite diverse and varied manners, to the questions arisen from the need to culturally interpret and to mediate between innovation and tradition, which mark both Romanian society and language of the time.
