Summary/Abstract: This article regards the concepts of substitute, anaphora and proform. In literature, there frequently appears a theory that the terms previously named“considerably overlap”, but Romanian grammar draws no clear boundaries between these concepts. After the comparative analysis of the main definitions for the concepts of substitute, anaphora/ anaphoric and proforms, I found that the anaphors/ anaphoricals are a type of proforms and the proforms are a type of substitute, which proves that the target terms are not equivalent.
