Summary/Abstract: There are both objective factors (of a linguistic nature) and subjective ones (of a socio-cultural nature) in adopting a neologism. Nevertheless, the presence of an important number of archaic words in general language dictionaries, together with the linguists’ preoccupation with avoiding, within limits, the excessive adoption of neologisms, or, at least, with curbing their harmful expansion, represent means of action that have been taken into consideration on numerous occasions.
