Summary/Abstract: In the article, I show on the basis of the -des con verb construction to what extent and how actual language usage has been influenced by language planning and introduced rules. As the con verb construction was the subject of lively discussion among Estonian language planners in the 1910's and 1920's, when rules were established that would remain prominent until the 1960's–1970s, the study is based on corpus material from the 1900's–1970's. language planning, language change, con verb construction, Estonian
