Summary/Abstract: Camil Petrescu validates the suggestive power of the non-verbal communication indices in the parenthetical text not only with the intention of lyricizing the dramatic discourse, but also to enhances, through expressive means, the deep symbolism of the conflict. All the auxiliary elements to verbal communication provide information about the social status and the relationships between the characters, about their moral traits or state of mind, all the more so as they are rendered through expressive means, emphasizing the verbal conflict by marking, step by step, the dynamics of dramatic communication. When it comes to analysis the paralinguistic modalities of communication given in brackets by the author, some must take into account all the aspects that are somehow involved with the inner message conveyed by the author.
