by Jancke DunnLeave a Comment on A-level English Language: Language Change

Various models of language change are presented, including Aitchison’s stages of change, Chen's S-curve, Bailey's Wave Model, and Substratum Theory. Additional theories highlight lexical gaps and the randomness of change. Deutscher identifies economy, expressiveness, and analogy as driving factors, while Aitchison parodies prescriptivism. Language evolves to meet user needs.
