- Abstract
This paper aims at analysing names of traditional Romanian spirits. The material collected shows that, at the present time, several terms are used to refer to these types of drinks: they display approximately the same territorial dissemination and develop almost identical constructions. Other terms are markedly connotative and usually characterise dialectal, familiar or regional speech. The information they convey is especially related to the quality of a drink (amestecat(ă) cu apă 'mixed with water', calitate inferioară 'inferior quality', de proastă calitate 'poor quality', tărie slabă 'mild drink', colorat 'coloured', ieftin 'cheap', îndulcit 'sweetened', ordinar 'plain'), the effects that it produces on drinkers (vătămător 'harmful') or stage of extraction (in the distillation process: curge la început 'initial extraction', curge prima dată 'first extraction', curge la sfârşit 'final extraction'). Figurative terms also occur, most of which are the results of stylistic devices, metonymy and synecdoche in particular.
