摘要:Language sciences are recently experiencing a tremendous diversification of scientific concerns, among which applied linguistics researches occupy a privileged position. Given these circumstances, a book which deals with the hypostases of verbal communication is quite justified, among other reasons, by its topicality. We refer to the volume of studies gathered under the compelling and suggestive title, Lumi discursive… [Discursive universes], signed by Ioan Milică and published by Editura Junimea of Iași in 2013. As a matter of fact, the title is meant “to draw [the readers’] attention to the fact that the leading idea of the studies included in the volume consists in the interpretation of linguistic acts as a dynamic, adaptive universe”, says the author (p. 13). Essentially, the volume reflects the author’s longterm researches, some of the issues discussed here representing his constant preoccupations. Thus, revising and enriching his research, the present volume gathers the author’s previous results, which have been disseminated in various scientific publications.
