Viziunea ortografică a cărturarului Timotei Cipariu reflectată în presa vremii din Transilvania (1840-1872)

Transylvanian journalism, through the extensive debates it hosted, carried out a real campaign for the introduction of the Latin alphabet and for the establishment of unitary orthography. The columns of periodicals constituted the place of confrontation between the two orthographic systems that disputed their primacy: etymologism and phonetism. Two publications founded by Timotei Cipariu, which reflect his orthographic vision, stand out within the heated linguistic polemics: Organul luminării and Arhivul pentru filologie și istorie, considered "tribunes of Latinism". The press objectively reflected the fierce struggle for the recognition of the Romanian language in Transylvania, as a decisive factor in the action to strengthen the consciousness of national unity.
