Abstract

The author briefly explains the meaning of grammatical words through history. The word is unique to the individual and allows oral and written communication among humans. Then she analyzes the process of the words, which can semantically grow over time, transform themselves, they may die, and «resurrect» as new words on what we call neologisms. The etymological study of the words allows us to learn the pristine sense of them and their process.
