Summary/Abstract: Starting from the concept of „fundamental structure of the utterance”, the article analyzes the semantic models of the utterances in the Romanian language. By applying this method, the whole variety of concrete utterances in speech can be presented in the form of a finite list of syntactic structures. In this way, the research pursues a double purpose: on the one hand, to describe semantically the fundamental structures of the utterances and, on the other hand, to make an inventory of the standard structures of the possible utterances in Romanian for their subsequent analysis in various ways.
