Summary/Abstract: Known in the evolution of Romanian society as a crucial moment of transition from feudalism to capitalism, the year 1848 marks, alongside the bourgeois-democratic revolution, important changes in the study of Romanian grammar. It is a moment for research, for effervescence and philological controversy which, taken together, had to find ways to modernize the literary language.Five grammars are published in 1848, of which the most important are those of Nicolau Bălășescu și P. M. Cîmpeanu. They fall into the category of those works which aim at popularizing grammatical concepts and represent a significant step in determining specialized terminology.
