  Abstract:  Observations upon the morphological status of “participle” and “supine” in Romanian. In this article, the author tries to demonstrate, by grammatical (morphological and syntactical) means, two major ideas: (a) the variable verbal participle, within the structure of the so-called “passive voice”, is one and the same as the variable verbal participle within the other contexts, that is a unit with morphological and syntactical autonomy, whereas the “passive voice” is a debatable grammar/morphological category, assimilated to a syntactical construction of the type: “to be (a fi) + adjective”<; (b) the units “de, la, în a .s. o.” before /in front of the verbs in “supine” are exclusively prepositions, not morphemes within its structure. Moreover they do not have any “cause – effect” type implications in the grammatical meaning of this verbal mode, a meaning different from both that of the invariable verbal participle within the structures of the analytical (compound) verbal forms, and from that of the variable verbal participle (forms of masculine singular). Therefore, this verbal mode is only homonymous with the participle in the two analyzed construction types.
