The effective change in the terminological paradigm is determined by the efficiency it guarantees, strategies involved and the groups of scientists who imposed it. The new nomenclature is based on simple, efficient principles, including the motivation of the names used, the choice of Greek roots and French forms for the terms. An analysis of these terminological upheavals makes obvious the determining desire to limit the arbitrary nature of language, whereas this is the very principle of spontaneous language.
