The author compares the 1st edition of Samo Cambel ś Rukoväť spisovnej reči slovenskej (1902) and Martin Hattala ś Krátka mluvnica slovenská (1852). She refers to Cambel ś approach to the codification of problematic linguistic items, which varied in use. She has focused on codification changes related to the archaic forms as the most marked group which is the cause of destabilization of the standard norm at the end of the 19th century. She refers to stabilisation character of Cambel ś codification that had removed a tension between previous codification of Slovak and its natural development and with respect to earlier codification works and development tendencies taking into account an assumed following development of the language it became a base of definitive form of contemporary standard Slovak.
