How are languages created? Why are there so many different languages being created? Some languages are constantly undergoing changes, and some languages disappear fairly quickly. What determines when a language will emerge and how it will change over time? While the key factor for language creation is the need for communication on a small scale among individuals, the pressures for language change mainly come from societal changes on a broader scale.

History of Language It is argued that the human species are a class of animal. However, the distinctive characteristic that makes us unique, which makes humans different from all other species, is our ability to use complex language. Language is thought of as multi-sensory, containing not only the verbal and writing, but also touch, smell, sound, and body elements.

For example, they learn ways to write more sophisticated, the effect of words, and the purpose of language. When understanding a new concept on language or communication usage important considerations

Weber vs. Marx: What Drives Historical Development Modern capitalism, an ongoing process involving the continual accumulation and subsequent reinvestment of capital, is an end that both Weber and Marx reach in their analyses of society and agree on in definition. However, while Marx tells us that phantoms of the brain i.e. morality, religion, ideology, cannot develop independently of material production or influence it, Weber argues that ideas and religion can indeed determine life and the processes

Language change is the manner in which the phonetic, morphological, semantic, syntactic and other features of a language are modified over time. Two linguistic disciplines concern themselves with studying language change: Historical Linguistics and Socio Linguistics. Historical linguists examine how a language was spoken in the past and seek to determine how present languages derive from it and are related to one another.
