discursurile

Discursurile is the plural forms of the Romanian noun discursul, meaning formal speeches or discourses delivered to an audience. In everyday use, discursurile can refer to multiple individual speeches, to a body of discourse associated with a person or event, or to the broader phenomenon of public speaking and rhetorical expression.

Etymology and sense: the noun discurs derives from a word borrowed into Romanian from French discours, with possible influence from Latin discursus. In Romanian, discurz is used in both the sense of a single prepared address and the broader idea of discourse or persuasive communication. The definite plural form, discursurile, marks that the speeches are specific or known within a given context.

Usage and scope: discursos are commonly encountered in political, academic, ceremonial, and media contexts. Examples include discursal addresses at official ceremonies, parliamentary discourses, or keynote speeches at conferences. The term can also appear in literary or scholarly discussions about rhetoric, rhetoric stylistics, and the construction of public discourse. The plural form often implies a collection or sequence of distinct speeches, but it can also describe multiple occurrences within a single event.

Relation to related terms: discursuri relates to related Romanian terms such as discurs (speech or discourse), retorică (rhetoric), and oratorie (oratory). While a discourse can be formal and public, it may also be analyzed as a structured performance of ideas, arguments, and appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) within a given context.
