Abstract

This paper ‘Some Factors and Situations of Language Change’ looks into the causes of language change. It analyzes the external influences such as geography, contact, and social dynamics of language change. Language Change sometimes suggests progress and sometimes decay. The progress may enhance the language, its systems, the prestige of its speakers and the decay may mean sometimes the extinction of the language itself. Every Language is subject to change. The change suggests the progress in many cases and decay in few. As the habits of the people change when they encounter new situations, new cultures, and new people so also a language. Contras-tively, we have another situation, the habits of the people may also change when they get separated from old (acquainted, or familiar) situations, old (acquainted, or familiar) cultures, old (acquainted, or familiar) people, so also a language, when it goes out of contact with an old situation and old culture. This in reality places us in the discussion of language change caused by external factors, mainly geographical.
