Sometimes the changes are not an outcome of any external force but
something internal for example the word ‘burn’ is easy pronounced and
write than its original version ‘Brennan’. Slowly people start saying ‘burn’
and it gets changed. This is called an internal change.
- External Change
When a language is influenced by another language such as borrowing
that forces a change in meaning or even construction of a word itself, it
is known as external change.
And another definition can you say that external language changes that
occur as a result of language contact processes, both in the linguistic
area and within the framework of social-political relations. For
example, loan word/ borrowing from other dialects or languages.
3) Please find one case of creolization and explain it in your own words.
4) Because, diglossia is found within one language (in the same community)
perhaps in dialects, or in two closely-related languages. So if you are
bilingualism, diglossia could (theoretically) be found in both in these
languages (both languages could have two varieties –one “low” and one
“high”. At a technical level, the “high” version could differ enough to be
seen as another language at a linguistic level, but when referring to
bilingualism, it usually means that the speakers should be able to speak
two different languages fluently, ranging from informal to formal. For
example, an older form of a language that is used for specific formal
situations (higher education, poetry, religion, etc).
5) I think can’t, because code-switch can change in an informal situation and
formal situation. For example, English students when talking to lecturers
and having difficulties in language automatically he will do code-
switching.
6) Because, language change is caused by three factors: age, gender, and
social class. These three factors have languages variation within them, for
instance, we will not use the same language as our grandparents and
grandchildren. And also languages change because of people’s exposure to
other languages. For example, has added words from all over the world.
