Statutul construcțiilor incidente în limba română contemporană
The status of incidental construction in contemporary Romanian language

Summary/Abstract: Through this article, we propose a synthesis of the main studies on incidental construction in Romanian language, revealing the convergent or divergent perspectives adopted by traditional and modern grammar, as well as by the specialized literature. At the same time, relying on arguments and facts of language itself (especially the problem of incidental constructions as parenthetical language facts), we include incidental constructions, generally considered a matter of syntax, in an interdisciplinary sphere of concerns, engaging at least two complementary directions: linguistics and semantics, respectively. Transversally, we debate the consistency of the theories that claim that these constructions are an additional communication within a basic communication to which they are not syntactically linked and which they interrupt, and we emphasize a much more plausible point of view, namely the conception of these constructions as being especially important within the organization of the statement viewed as an object of discourse, as a materialization of any type of human communication.
