This does happen in maths all the time. Pretty much all new results and new techniques also introduce new notation and language, which is then rationalized in further works by the community.
What tends to not change all that much currently is notation used in undergrad textbooks. However, going back more than a few decades books on for instance calculus look very different and use very different language (e.g. infinitesimals, topology, focus on power series etc.), similarly for linear algebra or complex analysis.
