IMPLICAȚII PSIHOLOGICE ALE UTILIZĂRII DIMINUTIVELOR ÎN POEZIA ARGHEZIANĂ

The objective of the present work is to identify the psychological and affective motivations of the use of diminutives in Arghezi’ poetry. The approach will be mainly deductive, as we endeavour to start our investigation from the semantic functions of diminutive constructions and then investigate the psychological effects of the use of diminutives specific to Arghezi’s poetry. The research is based on a multifaceted analysis, as we suggest a different approach on Tudor Arghezi’s texts, across a triple perspective: semantic, psychoanalytic and contextual-connotative. The methodology of the present study is specific to several fields of study, such as semantics, stylistics, psychology and literary theory. The corpus of the study is taken from the literary works of Tudor Arghezi.
