The aim of this paper is to examine how anglicisms infiltrate into Romanian language, their influence on Romanian language and how these anglicisms are adapted to the language system. There is a comparison between adaptation of anglicisms in Czech and Romanian language. Next chapter describes also the difference between Czech and Romanian view on the definition of neologism. Examined are various cases including changing of the meaning, words that must be adopted, because they cannot be found in Romanian vocabulary or the opposite case - unnecessary anglicisms that have corresponding Romanian analogues. The paper also focuses on etymology of anglicisms, abbreviations, as well as mistakes, which may occur during adoption of English words into Romanian language. The last part examines morphology, especially the issue of gender and formation of plural forms.

(in English): The aim of this paper is to examine the role of Slavic substantive borrowings in Romanian vocabulary. Selected substantive loans are divided into five semantic areas. Analysis of each of them contains a series of synonyms, functional and stylistic inclusion in the Romanian vocabulary, idioms of which is part given lexical unit, and its derivatives. The result is a semantic classification of lexems of Slavic origin in the Romanian vocabulary, their stylistic stratification and position within the synonymic series.

1 Summary The thesis entitled Diminutives and Augmentatives in Contemporary Romanian Language and their Stylistic Use is focused on determining a classification which could describe every stylistic function of expressive words. The method I chose was to analyze three stylistic areas, create lists of expressive words with context and evaluate the results. From the beginning, it was evident that there were many connections between diminutives, augmentatives on one part and pejoratives on the other. That is a reason why I extended this thesis to cover also pejorative words. Firstly, I would like to describe the structure of this study. I decided to divide it into two parts. The first one is theoretical (1.0), and its aim is to synthesize information about suffix derivation and about diminutives, augmentatives and pejoratives in the Romanian language. In different linguistic studies, we find different classifications of observed suffixes and also their different quantities. Having reviewed these linguistic studies, I chose one which I found the best organized and, based on my own analysis, I also added some observations regarding the theory (2.4.5). Basically, there are two more suffixes which should be classified as diminutive (-ež, -uşă) and two as augmentative (-ime, - andru). Next theoretical topic to...
