How individuals change language
Abstract. Languages emerge and change over time at the population level though interactions between individual speakers. It is, however, hard to directly observe how a single speaker's linguistic innovation precipitates a population-wide change in the language, and many theoretical proposals exist. We introduce a very general mathematical ...

Language Change Research Papers
Using the London-Lund Corpora to investigate recent change in advice-giving in spoken English (IPrA2021, July 2021, Winterthur, Switzerland) Several new spoken corpora have seen the light of day in recent years.

Language change is the focus of linguistic research. There are various theories on language change, among which the most important ones are Family Tree Theory, Wave Theory, Theory of Lexical Diffusion, Labov's Theory of Linguistic Variation, Overlapped Sound Change Theory, and the Punctuated Equilibrium Model. By discussing physical thoughts in these theories, this paper proposes that since ...

Language is continuously changing. Words change their meaning over time and this process is known as semantic change. Change can occur both in the literal meaning and in the pragmatic use of words. In this research, semantic change is studied from a different perspective. Words that go through rapid semantic changes are the focus of this study.
Language Variation and Change Research Papers
In concluding, this paper questions the usefulness of a creole-specific language change process, integrating decreolization into a mainstream framework of language contact. Ultimately, the specificity of the creole-lexifier relationship can contribute to our understanding of language variation in language change. [Mayeux, O. 2018.
