Summary/Abstract: The work approaches, based on the Romanian dialectal texts corpora, the status of anacoluthon as a marker of oral discourse. The anacoluthon is a syntactic phenomenon of discontinuity in the clause or sentence structure, a fracture in the organization and coherence of the enunciation, having pragmatic and stylistic consequences on the isolated componentthematization. Irrespective of the anacoluthon ofcase, person, number or relational elements, it represents a syntactic-discursive method related to the informational organization of enunciation. The altering of the initial syntactic-semantic project by the speaker is not only a de-structuring process, but also a restructuring process. A syntactic phenomenon considered to be a ‘deviation’ is transformed into a syntactic construction form specific to the oral use of Romanian language.The anacoluthon of case is analized as the ‘nominativus’ and ‘acusativus pendens’, structures that express a suspended theme and a change to the initial syntactic project.
