Summary/Abstract: The beginnings of Romanian grammar study are marked by the publication of Dimitrie Eustatievici Braşoveanul’s Gramatica rumânească (Romanian Grammar), in 1757. This work aims at underlining the richness of Romanian language and establishing the rules for its comprehension, as well as spoken and oral production. Moreover, this 1757 work is the first step in a direction that starts in Romanian culture towards the middle of the 18th century and witnesses a considerable subsequent development, i.e. the establishment of linguistic guidelines by means of grammars and dictionaries. These benchmarks underpin our initiative of presenting the morphological structure of Romanian language in this grammar. It is an interesting topic, as Eustatievici Braşoveanul is the first scholar to present morphological classes in a normative writing in Romanian.
