Summary/Abstract: The paperwork focuses on the changes in behaviour and language in Romanian society after the anticommunist revolution of the 89. Our analysis, overlapping semantics of discourse, semiotic, linguistic pragmatics and psycholinguistics, focused on corpus from political and media discourse and of the younger generation, formed during the era of new technologies.The study is also based on surveys conducted in the student world, through a questionnaire formulated on the cultural dimensions of Hofstede. We have found that Romanian society has changed its attitudes and reshaped its language after having conquered the freedom of thinking and expression, recovered after the abolition of totalitarian interdictions of the former communist regime, and under the influence of the models adopted because/ of the synchronization of the country to modernity.
