Summary/Abstract: In the linguistic system, the phenomenon of analogy plays a very important role. It is known that the language registers a permanent phenomenon of adjustment, of elimination of the exceptions as well as their employment in one category or another, already known to the speakers, in order to make it become more systematic thus more accessible. By analogy, new forms are being created, some of them getting to be accepted even by the norms of the literary language. The analogy is a phenomenon that works in any language and is frequently invoked by the neolinguists in order to explain the exceptions from the phonetic laws that are acting towards the language evolution.
