Summary/Abstract: In this contribution we present the results of an analysis aiming to identifyrepresentations and images of the Romanian language conveyed by an audience of 42foreign medical students and foreign doctors practicing in Romania. The analysis showsthat the Romanian language is evaluated according to the following criteria: epistemic,aesthetic and affective, as well as the existence of less frequent representations in theirdiscourses: cultural, social and statutory. Despite the linguistic and cultural diversity thatcharacterizes the participants in our research, the age difference, their social status, theirmigratory experiences and their experiences, the two socio-professional categories thatare the subject of this study show similarities in terms of representations of the Romanianlanguage.
