NOTES ON THE VALUES OF THE PREPOSITION “LA”(“AT/TO”) IN ROMANIAN
In this study we aim at examining the behaviour of the preposition “la” (“at/to”) in the Romanian language. The starting point of our analysis is represented by the distinctions made by the modern grammar between lexical/semi-lexical/functional prepositions. “La” (“at/to”) has, in Romanian, homonym forms which illustrate all these subcategories. We will highlight the differences in grammatical functionality between the used contexts; our study is discussing the capacity of this preposition to become a group centre, the assigning of a thematic role, the grammatical restrictions imposed on the dominated term.
