Adjectivul ceresc și categoria gramaticală a comparației în poezia lui Traian Dorz
The Adjective ceresc and the Grammatical Category of Comparison in Traian Dorz’s Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the current paper is to consider the special connotations that the adjective ceresc has in the literary work of a Romanian contemporary writer, Traian Dorz, author of an impressive number of mystical poems and volumes of memoirs and religious meditations. I will have in view the fact that, even though considered an adjective with no degrees of comparison, it allows, in certain situations, the presence of intensity markers (the attachment of the comparative and superlative morphemes). Thus, it creates remarkable stylistic effects in the structure of some nominal groups which have a crucial role in the construction of the message. In other words, the author’s creative capacity does not reside in the number of occurrences of this term, but in the position enabled by the contrast to other elements, in expressive lexical combinations, selected from a few representative creations for his artistic belief. Beyond the simple use of some more or less repetitive connotations, such contexts of the adjective ceresc in Traian Dorz’s work highlight profound emotions of the lyrical voice, always on an ascending path, as well as aspects regarding his view on life and the Divine, the unique relations between man and the Creator – an idea on which the entire lyrical message of the Romanian poet relies.
