Abstract

Any treatment of linguistics must address the question of language change. The way languages change offers insights into the nature of language itself. Language always changes and develops either internally or externally. Internal language change occurs as a result of the behaviour of speakers in their everyday lives to adjust to each other, and followed by a tendency to innovate in groups of people who are already familiar. Then followed by other changes in sequence, ultimately make a language different. It is grammar, phonology, phrase sequences, and sentence with gender function. The change will be followed by other changes. Language change may occur in any level of a language: in pronunciation, word forms, syntax, and word meanings.
