How and why do languages change? Where does the evidence of
language change come from? How do languages begin and end? This
introduction to language change explores these and other questions,
considering changes through time. The central theme of this book is
whether language change is a symptom of progress or decay. This
book will show you why it is neither, and that understanding the
factors surrounding how language change occurs is essential to
understanding why it happens. This updated edition remains
non-technical and accessible to readers with no previous knowledge
of linguistics.
