The present paper proposes a methodological approach of the questionnaires of the Romanian Language Museum, studying the way that the indirect linguistic survey was improved in this framework. The introduction of the popular language into the Dictionary of Romanian Language was an important desideratum expressed by B. P. Hasdeu (1884), who collected data using the indirect linguistic survey method, based on a questionnaire that included 206 questions. In order to enrich the lexicographic material for the elaboration of The Romanian Language Dictionary and to obtain preliminary information for the Romanian Linguistic Atlas, Sextil Pușcariu has also fully assumed the indirect linguistic survey method. As he pointed out, it was necessary to collect the facts of the Romanian language before the progress of a unitary civilization would erase the traces of the region specific language. In this respect, the Romanian Language Museum laid the foundations for a systematic strategy of collecting data from spoken language. Having a good knowledge of the results of the indirect linguistic investigation carried out by B. P. Hasdeu in the Romanian cultural space, and taking into account aspects of the previous investigations carried out in Germany and Switzerland, Sextil Pușcariu improved this research method, in order to limit its disadvantages and to maximize its benefits.
