One of the great technical achievements that revolutionized the idea of time and space, opening a new era in the history of communication, is telegraphy. It is based on the transmission of electrical signals through a cable over long distances, allowing people to communicate instantly. The telegraph spread very quickly and a network of wires stretched around the world.
In 1837, the American painter and physicist Samuel Morse invented the first electromagnetic device for telegraphy, patented in 1840. To send messages by wire, Morse developed in 1838 a simple code of dots and dashes, which represented the letters of the alphabet, known as "Morse code ".
Both Morse code and the telegraph machine were improved over time, with the telegraph becoming the most widespread system of communication and information transmission for more than a century, until the advent of the Internet. The telegraph system consisted of a series of stations repeaters along the transmission line route. Each station had an operator who received and transmitted messages by telegraph. The Morse machine transmitted about 25 words per minute, which were recorded in code on a paper tape. The operator in charge of transmitting the message would decode it and write it on paper using a special typewriter.
In Bessarabia, the telegraph entered in 1860: on April 8, the Bender telegraph station began its activity, and on April 24, the one in Chisinau, following the construction of the first Odesa-Chisinau-Leova telegraph line. Currently, telegraph services have been discontinued. The only ones who still use coded communication are radio amateurs.
The Morse telegraph machine shown comes from the Osinoostrovsky electrotechnical plant, Soviet Union, and dates back to 1934. The exhibit was restored by Mihail Culașco.
Certaines considerations concernant le latin de Dacie
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. III [XVIII], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică
Simultanément avec la transformation de Dacie en province romane, celle-ci a été exposée à un vaste processus de romanisation, ainsi en peu de temps, la population de la province a appris la langue latine, qui est devenue la langue de communication, étant donné l’amalgame ethnique cohabitant. Le latin littéraire a été connu par les hautes couches sociales, plus répandu étant le latin vulgaire, imprégné avec des fautes et des erreurs d’expression, à cause de plusieurs facteurs. La militarisation intense a résulté l’apparition dans la langue courante des notions militaires qui feront référence ultérieurement à des choses et des faits civiles. On peut distinguer le spécifique du latin de Dacie des inscriptions de n’importe quel genre, leur recherche étant indispensable pour l’étude des faits de langue. En lignes générales le latin de Dacie n’a été une langue isolée, mais elle s’est intégrée dans les limites de la langue parlée dans tout l’empire, de cette manière la communication de toutes les populations des provinces romanes étant possibles.
