Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the behaviour of the preposition ”a” in the Romanian language. Having a reduced phonetic body, it is one of the most frequently used prepositions; we will emphasize the fact that the analyzed preposition can be: lexical (situation in which it imposes a thematic role, case and articulation restrictions on the dominated term), functional (in case of marking the idea of genitive or dative), without a meaning – when it accompanies the prepositions used as genitive for the certain syntactical situations. It is used as morpheme for the infinitive (mark of this non-finite form), situations in which it has a low functionality.
