Summary/Abstract: The paper is conceived as an analysis of the use of personal pronouns in English and Romanian. In English personal pronouns may take different forms depending on number, grammatical or natural gender, case and formality. Personal pronouns may also refer to objects, animals, or people. In Romanian personal pronouns directly establish the protagonists of speaking, especially those persons who are indispensable to the linguistic act. The first person elaborates the enunciation, the second intercepts and decodes the message while the third person represents the object of communication which the message speaks about.
