EXPRIMAREA PRONUMELUI PERSONAL SUBIECT ÎN CONTEXTUL PREDĂRII/ÎNVĂȚĂRII LIMBII ROMÂNE CA LIMBĂ STRĂINĂ
EXPRESSING THE SUBJECT PRONOUN IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHING/LEARNING ROMANIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Summary/Abstract: In Romanian, verbal forms conjugated at different moods and tenses are generally well differentiated by markers of person and number. That is why the written and oral expression of the Subject personal pronoun is not necessary in most language and communication contexts, the information being recuperated either from the verbal suffixes or some other grammatical or contextual elements. This does not mean that it can be omitted in any situation. "When, why and how do we express the Subject personal pronoun in Romanian?ˮ is an interesting question for: the learner whose ultimate goal is to acquire these written and oral communication skills; the researcher pursuing the inventory and theorization of this grammatical categoryʹ rules and exceptions; the teaching methodologist as well as for the author of manuals for learning the Romanian language as a foreign language; also for the comparative linguist who finds useful the parallel study of similarities and differences between languages, based on which they can subsequently determine those languagesʹ specificities. As far as we are concerned, we have brought together in our study a series of conditions in which the Subject personal pronouns is used, delimited in accordance with the belonging field: morphology and syntax, utterances, pragmatics and discourseʹ analysis. For each individual situation (role and values of the subject in: verbsʹ conjugation, sentences and phrases, statements, speeches, discourses; expressing the subject in Romanian compared to French and English), we have used illustrative examples accompanied by theoretical comments. Examples belong to the standard language, the current and general use of the literary level, the neutral communication; we have excluded the stylistic particularities of poetry , colloquial language, regionalisms, archaisms, jargon, slang, atypical language.
