Linguistic References in the Prose of Vasile Voiculescu

The studies dedicated to the analysis of Vasile Voiculescu's work have highlighted, among other things, the aesthetic, ideological function meant to capture the artistic value of the fantastic prose, the intermingling of the myth with the fabulous (see Ion Apetroaie, Vasile Voiculescu, 1975); equally interesting is the analysis of the features of the "indirect free style" (see Claudia-Ileana Spineanu, Indirect Freedom in the Prose of Vasile Voiculescu, 2009). For other scholars, the research of Vasile Voiculescu's work was an attempt to "unmask" the masks of the author's self-seeking, along with the emphasis on the realistic component (see the story "Chef la manastire") or the traditionalist one (Mircea Braga, "Vasile Voiculescu in orizontul traditionalismului"). In addition to all these perspectives, our approach aims at applying the structuralist perspective on Vasile Voiculescu's writings, with examples and observations on the phonetic, lexical, morphological and stylistic levels, without excluding, where it was the case, the normative issues.
