CONTRAGERILE GERUNZIALE- ÎNTRE CONTROVERSĂ ȘI RETORISM
GEORGIA - BETWEEN CONTROVERS AND RETORISM

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to point out the controversies risen with regard to the gerund. Although a wide number of theoreticians claim that it lacks predication, we attempt to demonstrate that the predication exists and that the gerund can be considered predicate when a lexical subject emerges. Moreover, its intrinsic durative content provides the text with a stylistic value that is more prominent than the one generated by the non-finite forms of the English verb.
