Clasa numeralului – sursă expresivă pentru registrul familiar și argotic

Abstract

The dynamics of slang is closely related to that of the vocabulary, in general, leaving room any time for new analyses: phonetic, lexical, semantic, morphosyntactic, pragmatic, stylistic. The communication we are about to propose is trying to grasp those slang words and phrases including numerals in various hypostases of manifestation. Due to its heterogeneity manifested by its multiple values (noun, pronoun, adjective and adverb), the numeral manages to add extra freshness and creativity to the familiar and argotic register. At the same time, the lexical-grammatical class of the numeral is able to reflect the power of significance of the Romanian language, respectively the mentalities of the community of speakers turning to its three hypostases: symbolical value, quantitative representation and qualitative representation.
