【 摘 要 】

Verbs can be classified according to different criteria. This paper aims to distinguish and define verb classes in English and Romanian. The analysis starts with one of the most influential semantic classifications of verbs into four types: activities, states, accomplishments and achievements. This classification is based on English verbs, but it can also represent a framework for distinguishing different verb classes in other languages, including Romanian. This paper also discusses the general semantic features according to which verbs can be classified into classes. One of the aims of this scientific research is to verify whether the mentioned verb classes can be identified in Romanian language as well.
