Distincția tranzitiv vs intranzitiv în structurile actanțiale ale verbelor monosemantice
The Distinction of Transitive vs Intensive into the Actantial Structures of Monosemantic Verbs

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the difficulty of delimiting the distinction between transitive vs. intransitive meaning in monosemantic verbs. This is because, as a rule, in a monosemantic verb, the mention tr./intr. it is put in front of the definition of its unique meaning, which includes two syntagmatic structures (the transitive and the intransitive) as in the case of the verb “to fall asleep”. However, two meanings must be delimited, because this verb belongs to two semantic classes: class of the verbs of becoming, with the intransitive meaning “Ionel falls asleep” and the class of the action verbs, with the transitive meaning “The mother puts Ionel to sleep”. The decisive argument would be that the choice between a transitive and an intransitive syntagmatic model is made on the basis of the phenomenon of the actantial derivation of the verb. In this case, it is necessary to detail the syntagmatic pattern, so that the verb has two meanings, one intransitive and one transitive.
