Calques in the Soviet Romani language of 1927-1938
A new literary language project cannot be based on none tradition. Conventional geographic (Grenada) and personal (Santina) names of literary or at least artificial origin, various calques both either of new Russian (Soviet) meanings in the area of social and technical terminology, or of words morphemic structure and even syntactic constructions make clearly seen certain Russian basic samples through the Romani wording, for example, in translations of the main anthems of the Comintern and the Internationale song. This is not a full list of signs witnessing continuity and influence of Russian literature tradition. The quotations and calques in the Soviet Romani language is a little-studied object, but it could be learnt that the project grew out of the Russian literature tradition of the recent past and the ascetic lifestyle of two initial Soviet five-year plans period.
