ELEMENTE ALE DISCURSULUI ISTORIC LA ION BUDAI-DELEANU
ELEMENTS OF HISTORICAL DISCOURSE AT ION BUDAI-DELEANU

Summary/Abstract: The discourse represents an event, and within it we can find a certain meaning. The discursive field of Ion Budai-Deleanu involves three aspects: a pre-discourse, specific to the first part, having the shape of an informative-explicative discourse; a concrete discourse, in the form of a historical discourse; a counter-discourse, in the form of a polemic discourse. The function of each form is becoming evident in various particularities. The pre-discourse has an explicative function. The historical discourse has a thematic and problematical function (it questions the origins of various peoples). The counter-discourse has the function of rejecting the depreciating opinions about Romanian nation stated by foreign historians. In conclusion, the elements that the discourse of Ion Budai-Deleanu cuts up and draws are shaped not only towards supporting the rights of Romanians, but also for denying the rights of other nations. These represent fundamental ideas whose argumentation is formulated in a tight interdependence.
