The aforementioned proof that the “Dark Ages” aren’t so dark is evident. Ranging from art to literature to paintings, this time period has had a lasting impact on the world as we know it.

Language change is the manner in which the phonetic, morphological, semantic, syntactic, and other features of a language are modified over time. All languages are continually changing. At any given moment the English language, for example, has a huge variety within itself, and this variety is known as synchronic variation. From these different forms comes the effect on language over time known as diachronic change. Two linguistic disciplines concern themselves with studying language change: historical linguistics and sociolinguistics.
