PERIODIC CHANGES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
This article discusses the study of main causes of change in modern English grammar, vocabulary, and phonetics are phonetic and structural reduction, dialectal or language variant influence on one another, innovative and fruitful word formation, and dialectal or language variant influence on one another. There are many examples of these shifts in popular artistic discourse. The English language generally does not change very quickly and will stay in its typical shape for a considerable amount of time, despite changes in specific regions. Nonetheless, in order to adjust established conventions in a timely manner, it is crucial to closely monitor linguistic developments.
