Sintagma – relaționalitate sintactică sau categorială?

Our paper aims at presenting a controversial outlook on the syntactical/ syntagmatic model stated by D.D. Drașoveanu, based on the so-called "relational meaning", starting from a work of Mircea Minică, Semantica relației în limba română (2018), in which the author considers that the terms of a syntagm are relational in themselves (i.e. "categorical relationality") and not as a result of an external relation (i.e. "relational meaning").
