The author’s objective was to compare possessive structures with a dative clitic attached to the verb in the present-day language with the data offered by the original texts in the old language (16th – 18th centuries). The comparison revealed the fact that the Romanian language, in its historical evolution, does not show significant structural modifications in what concerns the structures mentioned above: we deal with the same syntactic and semantic typology of the external possessor structures, whereas the freedoms and the constraints of combination are the same for both phases of evolution. The very few differences between the two stages in the evolution of the Romanian language refer to the difference frequency between internal possessor structures and external possessor ones, which, in the old language, proves to be in favor of the former ones. In the old language, the structures with double possessor (internal and external, at the same time) are more numerous, and their occurrence is less constrained than in the current language.
