Politica lingvistică în RASSM (1924-1940): tentative de instituţionalizare a unei ,,limbi moldoveneşti”

Abstract

Sinse 1924, when the Moldavian ASSR was created, the totalitarian communist regime wanted to create by their own tipographies an image of the sovietic „Moldovian nation”, with its own teritory and state apparatus and the ruling elite. The goal proposed by them was to create from some local Transnistrian dialects a ,,true” Moldovian language with a Moldovan identity, different from the Romanian one. The political character of the action of inventing the „Moldovan language” was noticed right from the moment of its implementation, manifesting itself through controversial disputes how it should be among the party leaders.
