LANGUAGE CHANGE: DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE IT
Keywords:
morphology, syntax, discourse. Germanic language, grammarAbstract
All languages change as speakers adopt or invent new ways of speaking and pass them on to other members of their speech community. Language change happens at all levels from the phonological level to the levels of vocabulary, morphology, syntax, and discourse. Even though language change is often initially evaluated negatively by speakers of the language who often consider changes to be "decay" or a sign of slipping norms of language usage, it is natural and inevitable.
