We have to admit that grammarians' terminology is very creative. Some words are quite obvious and easy to recognize, like "negator" or "hesitator" but some others look a bit pompous, like "empty carrier as marker of the infinitive"!!!
My favourite one is "dummy element". What specific word has called your attention when studying grammar? Post your favourite so as to have a ranking, something like the "grammar jargon top ten".

Specific words have called my attention when studying grammar in 1st and in 2nd year are coordinators and subordinators.
