The present article is meant as an attempt to highlight the inappropriate use of the concepts of neologism and neology in Romanian linguistics, within the field of the theoretical research, as well as within that of the applied research and especially in the lexicographic activity.

Dating, a chronological hierarchy of the words in written language, proves useful for establishing the features of the vocabulary in various steps of evolution of a language.
