Summary/Abstract: The paper entitled Some Considerations on the Role of the Negation in Romanian Penal Discourse aims to analyze the text of the Romanian Penal Code using the linguistic instruments. In fact, our paper work tries to focus on marking out the importance of the negation in the hypothesis, disposition and sanction of a penal norm. In order to accomplish this aim, some semantic, syntactical and pragmatic aspects of the penal discourse represent the centre of our analysis. The correct interpretation of the negative utterances proves decisive not only for specialist (magistrates), but also for the non-specialist.
