Cuvântul: emblemă a fenomenului cultural românesc. Studiu de caz: „Perna de puf”, de V. Voiculescu
The Word: A Symbol of the Romanian Cultural Identity. A Case Study: ”Perna de Puf”, by V. Voiculescu

Summary/Abstract: The challenges of the contemporary society are reflected, implicitly, also at the linguistic level, thus Word becoming a symbol of the Romanian cultural phenomenon, regardless of the field in which the contemporary man carries out his activity, resonating, either with his soul experience or with his culture. There has always been a dynamic of the linguistic phenomenon that goes through an extensive process of change, renewal, adaptation to the new, but also the assimilation of innovative trends through the means of enriching vocabulary. In our paper, we chose an illustrative text, such as ”Perna de puf”, by Vasile Voiculescu in order to highlight the dynamics and functioning of the linguistic element in order to transmit and decrypt the message. The aim of the paper is not to explain the author̓ s preference for a certain stylistic register, but to reveal the stylistic meanings and connotations that derive from the interference of new and old norms, of the archaic language with the regional and even neological one. The author̓ s predilection for this variety of linguistic material makes the expression spontaneous and the mystery of the presented world to descend in antiquity, slipping through the dream beyond the real dimension. We shall analyze to what extent, the vocabulary, by means of its artistic function, may create the atmosphere in the selected text.
