For the achievement of this purpose, we proposed ourselves the following objectives: to classify and analyze the main definitions and points of view dedicated to the idioms in contact; to reveal the specificity of the development of Romanian language in the conditions of diglossia; to establish the periods of diglossia in the history of Romanian language; to delimit the periods of production of Romanian-Slavic contacts; to analyze the consequences of these contacts; to reveal the specificity and the consequences of the Romanian-Russian contact from Bessarabia; to describe the situation of the Romanian dialects being in the foreign-tongued environment; to present some aspects of the linguistic interferences (borrowing and change of code).
