Abstract

The Encyclopedia of Romanian Imaginaries. Historical Patrimony and Cultural-Linguistic Identities (ROMIMAG) was one of the most recent and ambitious projects of the Romanian academic environment. The studies on cultural identity and spiritual heritage, carried out within the framework of this project, were materialized in 5 volumes: The Literary Imaginary, Linguistic Patrimony and Imaginary, Historical Imaginary, Religious Imaginary and Imaginary and Artistic Patrimony. For the second volume, the one dedicated to language, researchers from three of the most prestigious institutions in Romania came together (Babeş-Bolyai University, University of Bucharest and the Institute of Linguistics and Literary History "Sextil Puşcariu" - Cluj-Napoca). Under the guidance of Elena Platon, these 20 researchers tried to define and describe the linguistic imaginary, without, however, proposing an exhaustive presentation of it.
