Abstract
There are some linguistic elements that we will called extenders (elementos de prolongación oprolongadores for this work) which could be defined as those phrases like or whatever, and so on and soforth, and things, which normally show at the end of an enumeration and whose main function consists ofextending that list. Our main aim in this paper is to study the use of these elements within a scientific andhistorical context in order to observe and identify those ones that scientific authors would use in theXVIII century to a greater or lesser degree. And this, in spite of being linguistic elements characterisedby their vagueness what contravenes the very essence of scientific writing
