본문내용

As a means of communication between people, a language always undergoes a change since every speaker has special characteristics and they interact each other. When a certain linguistic feature is considered as prestigious and a group of speakers admires this value, this feature can be adopted within their language. Usually this change occurs downwards from the higher social groups to the lower social groups.
