Review of Temporality in Romanian Editions of The Stranger by Albert Camus
Abstract: The Stranger novel, published in 1942 by Gallimard Publishing House, Paris, is a philosophical novel that shows the perspective of an absurd character, of the man alienated by himself and the others. From a linguistic perspective, what draws the attention in this novel is the construction of the speech regarding the expression of time. In this study we aim to analyse the manners in which temporality is expressed in the Romanian editions of The Stranger novel (editions of 1968 and 2019) from the perspective of Modes of Discourse, a theory broadly presented by Carlotta Smith in her study, Modes of Discourse (2003).
Keywords: tenses, temporality, The Stranger, discourse modes, semantics.
