Nedeterminarea obţinută prin neexprimarea actanţilor în limbajul popular
Non-determination by Not Expressing the Actants in folk language

Summary/Abstract: Folk language has certain characteristics concerning the non-determination degrees as a result of not expressing the actants, characteristics regarding both some texts in which non-determination of a syntactic position is frequent and the presence of some intermediate stages favoured by the use of the oral code in which the actualization of an actant is possible at a transphrastic, anaphoric or contextual level. The present work contains an inventory of all the syntactic positions in which certain actants are not actualized and a selection of texts having certain stylistic features regarding non-determination. Non-determination is realized both semantically using words with a high degree of non-definition and syntactically by not completing the actant frame of a syntactic phrase centre with a subject and a agent object – in most cases, a predicative adjective, a direct object, a secondary object and, quite seldom, an indirect object.
