Salutul în limbajul tinerilor: o abordare pragmalingvistică
Greeting formulas in the language of young people: a pragmalinguistic approach

Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to develop a semantic-pragmatic typology of greeting formulas used in the language of young people both in their relations with parents and family, in general, and with colleagues and friends, in particular. Starting from the premise that the greeting formula cumulates several functions, such as the factic, appeal and emotional functions, our analysis highlights their heterogeneity by inventorying both the greeting itself and the votive formulas and forms of address. In addition, our study conducted among students at the Faculty of Letters emphasizes the affective value of terms of address that can be considered marks of a "relational solidarity" (Katsiki 2000: 325) as well as the frequency of votive formulas that tend to eliminate the clichéd formula of greeting in favor of stereotypes that mitigate the separation of interlocutors. Finally, we can also underline the influence of globalization on greeting formulas, which contain a number of anglicisms, and their personalization according to the communication situation.
