Summary/Abstract: This paper is focused on noticing how a series of common words may get specialised meaning by being used as grammar terminology in normative Romanian works from the period between 1757-1840. These works put the emphasis not only on linguistic deeds and ideas, but they launched a scientific terminology. The specialised vocabulary enriched, following the patterns which were specific to vocabulary in general.
