Approche contrastive des constructions verbales impersonnelles (domaine français-roumain) Authors Gabriela Scurtu Abstract A contrastive approach to impersonal verbal constructions in French and Romanian The purpose of this article is to discuss various problems relating to impersonal verbal constructions with a view to: 1. Defining the impersonal sentence in French and Romanian on the basis of its subjectless nature and highlighting the viewpoints of different authors on this matter; 2. Offering a synthesis of the different clause types in order to establish a typology of verbs and impersonal constructions in the two languages; 3. Undertaking a short two-way contrastive analysis, showing areas of structural similarity and difference in impersonal expressions (French- Romanian, Romanian- French). This procedure has enabled us to identify three basic situations, namely: convergence (impersonal construction in both languages) and either total or partial divergence (impersonal construction in one language and personal construction in the other).
