Abstract:
Quantity can be expressed through a series of specific structures both in Romanian and
English. Apart from their standard connotations, they include a rich register of stylistic nuances
which can be found in verbal and written language alike. Whether they refer to small, medium or
large quantity, the expressions acquire suggestive value, giving expressiveness to the language.
Their main role is to enrich communication through their metaphorical variety.
The present work aims at a comparative analysis of the quantifying structures and their role in
shaping Romanian and English language.
