Summary/Abstract: Two big typological classes of languages may be distinguished through the existence / the absence of the signifiant’s variance, firstly by its degree of variance and secondly by the modality in which the signifiant chooses to vary: analytical and synthetical languages. Linguists have often insisted on the difficulty of definitely marking the differences between the two when classifying a language according to its morphological typology. This difficulty is due not only to the fact that no language is totally analytic or synthetic but also because languages themselves may be very different one from the other. Flexional languages, for example, are distinguished by the preference they give either to some flexional process or to another (external variability), as well as by the importance that the same flexional process may have for a same language along its history (internal variability). This means that the attempts to classify languages cannot ignore the genetical and historical factors. According to this aspect, one should remark that the game between the analytic and the synthetic can have, in the interior of a language concrete and particular ways of manifestation on the diastratic and diachronic plan as well as on the diatopic plan. The following lines want to formulate some remarks on this aspect (analythical vs. synthétical) insisting on the presence of some differences (on the quantitative level) between the variants of Romanian language in Romania and the Moldavian Republic. These observations represent fragmentary notes inserted in a more extended research whose aim is to study the configuration of the Romanian language in its Bessarabian acception.
