Structural Interference & Sociolinguistic Frameworks

Building on modern contact theory (including Weinreich, Martinet, and Haugen), Ilyashenko systematically charts the impact of Slavic languages on Moldavian syntax:

• The Dynamics of Interference: Analyzes how lexical innovations, calques, and grammatical borrowings enter literary and spoken registers.

• Syntactic Structure & Evolution: In-depth breakdown of noun and verb-noun syntagms across 18th and 19th-century historical sources.

• Comparative Paradigms: Explores bilingualism as a catalyst for language development within multi-ethnic regions.
