Summary/Abstract: The 19th century represented for Romanian the most important period in its language history in terms of unification, normalization and modernization, which underwent fundamental transformations. Ion Heliade-Rădulescu played a very important role in the modernization of the Romanian thanks to the innovative principles and ideas presented in his works: realization of linguistic unity, establishment of common norms, change of spelling, substitution of popular language terms with neologisms that had better reflected the new linguistic realities.
