Summary/Abstract: Among the languages which possess the definite article, the most place it before the noun. A minority, to which the Rumanian language belongs, places it, other than that, after the substantive in form of a suffix. But this second solution to the linguistic problem of the article is of a less good quality than the first. Romanian, which first chose the postposition, now shows a tendency to the anteposition. It is slowly detaching itself of the suffixed paradigm –ul and tries to replace it by morpho-syntaxes which take their position before the substantive. The independent morpheme al plays a central part in this evolution.
