Summary/Abstract: In this study we want to analyse the behaviour of the personal pronoun from the contrastive point of view. We have chosen different contexts for both languages, Romanian and French. The two series of forms of the personal pronoun, stressed and unstressed, can get different discursive values, depending on the context they are used. We speak about the generic, the pragmatic and the stylistic value. We shall also underline that certain inversions in person and number may suggest some emotional values both in Romanian and in French. To illustrate these values, we have chosen examples that will point out both the similitudes but especially the differences between the two languages. The differences are most often the ones that can cause troubles for the Romanian speaker who begins to acquire French knowledge.
