THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF ROMANIA THROUGH THE PRISM OF INTER- COMPREHENSION
Intercomprehension among related languages is a spontaneous communicative phenomenon that occurs prominently within the Romance language family, whose morphosyntactic and lexical proximity fosters mutual understanding among speakers. Although it has been extensively studied in Romance linguistics, dialectology, and language didactics, intercomprehension remains underexplored from the perspective of the linguistic landscape, understood as the visibility and spatial distribution of languages in public space. This article offers a theoretical and historiographical reflection on how intercomprehension can contribute to a cartographic interpretation of Romania as a multilingual space. Drawing on historical examples and linguistic maps, it analyses contact zones as particularly conducive to intercomprehension, as well as the ideologies that shape language perception and use. Grounded in the findings of our doctoral research, the study promotes an integrated framework that combines intercomprehension, linguistic landscapes, and sociolinguistic history.
