Abstract Language is always changing. Language change is a social phenomenon.The important condition for the change is the existence of language variation.Some particular social factors are responsible for spreading linguistic changes.They are coinage, social class difference,regional variation, mass media, style variation, sex difference, borrowing,etc.Language change is very slow, but it goes unceasingly unless the language dies out.
