Limbajul apofatic – distorsiuni semantice ale negarii [Articol]

Abstract

In the present thesis we sought to argue the hypothesis that the means of expressing the negation in the religious discourse gets a semantically distorted character, following a descriptive and analytical algorithm which satisfies four perspectives: the conceptual perspective - by describing the apophatic modality of meeting God; the lexico-grammatical perspective - by investigating the opposing relationship of antonymy between the denominated entities; the morphematic perspective - by inventorying the instrument of expressing negation; the aesthetic perspective - by interpreting the arsenal of tropes and stylistic devices, designed to sensitize the reader and the listener of the religious discourse.
