Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the means of reporting speech used in written Romanian press in 1918, when Transylvania, Bessarabia, and Bukovina were reunited within the Romanian Kingdom, in The Great Union event, with special attention to the group of verbs or phrases designating the speech (verba dicendi), oral, written, or thought. We try to organize the list of verbs in several groups based on their semantic features and pragmatic uses.
