Modification or development of a language
Language change is variation over time in a language's features.
It is studied in several subfields of linguistics: historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and evolutionary linguistics.
Traditional theories of historical linguistics identify three main types of change: systematic change in the pronunciation of phonemes, or sound change; borrowing, in which features of a language or dialect are altered as a result of influence from another language or dialect; and analogical change, in which the shape or grammatical behavior of a word is altered to more closely resemble that of another word.
