PRAGMATIC FUNCTIONS OF THE REPETITION OF THE COMPLEX PREDICATE WITH MODAL AND ASPECTUAL OPERATOR WITHIN THE ROMANIAN TELEVISUAL POLITICAL DISCOURSE

Author(s): Laura Grama / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 25/2021

The article approaches pragmatic issues of the complex predicate with modal and aspectual operator and verbal semantic support within the Romanian televisual political discourse, more precisely the pragmatic functions of the repetition of the complex predicate. It is emphasized that the repetition of the complex predicate with modal and aspectual operator has conversational functions, being involved in the exchange of roles between interlocutors or as a form of dialogue control, as well as interactive functions, highlighting the relationships between the actors of the conversational exchange.

CREANGĂ’S SYNTAX - SEVERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE SUBJECTIVE SUBORDINATE CLAUSE IN CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

Author(s): Bianca Daniela Kopoșciuc / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 25/2021

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the stylistic-syntactic realization of the subjective subordinate clause, be it pronominal or conjunctional, in the era of the Great Classics, in order to highlight some construction features which had been either abandoned or considerably restricted in the present-day language, making reference to both relationship elements as well as to the regent elements registered within the analyzed corpus: Ion Creangă’s Childhood Memories volume, the first three parts being published between 1881-1882, and the fourth part posthumously, respectively.

APPOSITION IN THE ROMANIAN SYNTACTIC SYSTEM

Author(s): Florentina Gisela Cumpenașu / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2022

The present study is a theoretical introduction that aims to approach the grammatical system of the Romanian language from the perspective of the coreferential relation. Therefore, the units of the language were described at the phonological, morphological, lexical, syntagmatic, propositional, phrastic and transphrastic levels. The system of relations made the distinction between the relations that are hierachical and generators of syntactic functions, and the others. Unlike these, the coreferential relation is not hierachical and does not generate syntactic functions, but it has the ability to duplicate each of them, except for the predicate, which is reinstated at the phrasal level. The last component of the grammatical system concerning the syntactic functions at the propositional and phrasal levels, will be described in detail in a later study, as coreferential syntactic functions.

VARIOUS FORMS OF THE COMIC IN THE COMEDIES OF I. L. CARAGIALE

Author(s): Elena Marilena Năstase (Mihail) / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2022

Comedy cannot be dissociated from the aesthetic category of the comic. This interferes with the burlesque and the grotesque, proving the evolution of the theatrical art. The purpose of this article is to highlight the various forms of the comic, starting from Aristotle's disapproving conception, next recalling the theatrical landmarks of universal literature and finally focusing on the comedies of I. L. Caragiale. The work of the Romanian playwright is close to the French vaudeville of the second half of the 19th century. It also reminds us that the comic techniques descend from the mimus, the medieval farce, the Karagoz theater and the game of the solitaries. For the modern reader and audience, Caragiale's comic causes a stiff laugh against an unbalanced world, reduced to caricatural manifestations.

LINGUISTIC FEATURES IN “GRAMATICA FIZICII” (1796)

Author(s): Liliana Soare / Language(s): English Issue: 30/2022

The study deals with a translation made by Amfilohie Hotiniul from Italian around 1790. Our objective is to identify and explain the linguistic traits of the text on the phonetic and morphosyntactic levels. Our analysis reveals phonetic and morphological features specific of the Moldovan dialect at the end of the 18th century, but it also brings into attention some interesting linguistic aspects which can be explained by the Italian influence on the translator, such as the high frequency of structures presenting the analytical marking of the genitive, the definiteness of the noun marked by la, the use of că with a relative pronoun value, passive patterns with the auxiliary vine or the impressive amount of the structures veni+infinitive, also calquing the corresponding Italian constructions.

ANALYSING JOKES – A LINGUISTIC APPROACH

Author(s): Cristina Miron / Language(s): English Issue: 31/2022

The paper aims at analysing jokes in English by attempting a classification based on linguistic features of jokes which are characterised by ambiguity, but also by studying which mode of communication, oral or written, ensures a more successful realisation of the respective joke. We exemplify our theoretical explanations with various illustrations of jokes dealing with phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and semantic ambiguities.

Problèmes de la concurrence entre les connecteurs temporels les plus employés en français et en bulgare contemporains

Author(s): Nikolai Mihov / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2000

This article deals with some problems related to the definition and the analysis of the linguistic mechanisms governing the concurrence between the most frequently used temporal conjunctions in modern French and in modern Bulgarian. In this connection, the contrastive character of the study determines its bipartite composition whose first part examines an interesting question of the syntax of French compound phrase with a temporal subordinate clause, namely the alternation between the most typical temporal conjunctions quand and lorsque, specially in economic and scientific functional style. It is proved that the preference for quand is. generally, a result from the engagement of the speaking subject to processes expressed by the verb of the subordinate temporal clause in opposition to lorsque which prevails when such an engagement is lacking. The second part consideres the concurrence between the most important Bulgarian temporal conjunctions - kogato and kato, as an analogy to the phenomenon studied in French, in spite of the different factors being at its basis.

Фонетични, морфологични и лексикални особености на говора на турскоезичното население от с. Горно Ново село (Старозагорска област)

Author(s): Hristo Saldzhiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2003

The article deals with the phonetic, morphosyntactic and lexical peculiarities of the Turkish dialect spoken in Gorno Novo Selo (Stara Zagora District). The strong interference of Bulgarian is characteristic of the phonetic and lexical levels. Two Indo-European layers can be observed in morphosyntax: an Iranian one, connected with the use of ku and зерем, and a Balkan one, leading to the substitution of the conjunctive for the infinitival constructions.

CONTEXTUAL VALUES OF THE IMPERFECT IN THE CURRENT ROMANIAN LANGUAGE

Author(s): Mirela-Alina Oprescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 33/2023

No linguist or grammarian proposed the status of mode for the imperfect. The new modal meanings attached to the imperfect are: counterfactuality and distancing. The prelude would allow marking the unreality of the facts imagined by a child. Therefore, the prelude forms would serve to express two types of modality: an epistemic one, in which the transition from the real world to the imaginary one, of the game ("reality-switching") is marked, and one of the illocutionary, as specified by the authors: Berthonneau & Kleiber (1994), Anscombre (2004), Patard and Richard. We note that similar epistemic modal effects have been observed in other uses of the imperfect by authors such as; Adam (1992), Gosselin (1999), Berthonneau & Kleiber (2003), Bres (2006), being associated with counter-real processes (eg: "Un pas de plus et elle était dehors.") or hypothetical (eg: " Si j'étais riche, je partirais aux Maldives.». Thus, modal values leave open all possible perspectives: follow-up, inflection or process interruption, as specified by S. Mellet (1988: 10).
