The typology of verbs in modern Romanian grammars

The verb is, as we well know, one of the most complex parts of speech in the morphological system of any natural language. In the following pages, we aim to examine the typology of verbs in modern Romanian grammars and to highlight the classification criteria used in their analysis. In principle, the main verbal categories are determined based on morphological (regular and irregular verbs, predicative and auxiliary), syntactic (transitive, intransitive, copulative) and semantic (action, state, modal) features. Contemporary grammars emphasize the interaction between these criteria, providing an integrated perspective on the verb. The study emphasizes the complexity of verb classification in Romanian and the need for a flexible approach, which should reflect both their formal structure and their role in the utterance.
