Delimitations of the Verb Class in Romanian and English. Morphological, Syntactic, Semantic and Pragmatic Aspects

Summary/Abstract: The delimitations of the verbal class refer to a series of aspects that provide its clear definition from other speech parts. From a morphological perspective, the verbal paradigm describes important differences between the studied languages, while syntactically the topical exigencies impose different constructions in Romanian and English. From a comparative perspective, the semantic and pragmatic aspects are similarly treated in the two languages, particularly when we take into account the new approaches put forward by the New Romanian Grammar of the Academy (2005).
