r time, and are also different from culture to culture. The proper ways have been stretched and strung out in many cases. Slang is first, while languages developed from other ones are also examples. Latin is the base of many languages and it is known if you study a language which is very similar to the one you know, you will learn it faster. The standard is always changing everyday, as we makeup and use new words. Another important thing to think about which changes language is that we may lose effectiveness in our everyday use language. This upsets many people because one day their ideas, which they so carefully thought out, have gone out of style. The change over time has made many languages unknown. Like with Latin, there are many so called "universal" languages, which the creator had the intent for it to be learned worldwide (Fromkin and Rodman 19). Many of these have never caught on like Latin, which died before it had a chance to live very long.As new concepts are developed, used and used again, a whole new language might be created from it. Thus names for the new concepts are also created, like with robots, airplanes, cars, and many other machines for example. Language has to grow to take on the new concepts we develop. Historical events, such as wars, have a part in joining two cultures or destroying two. They can destroy one, leaving them to pick up the pieces and to start over, or bring two together to make a whole new language. This is good in a way, but if a culture is completely destroyed, can it come back to its previous stature? Can it get better? Our view of phrases can be changed also. As our sense of humor has grown we developed our phrases too. Here is my example. Sorry it is not quite as funny as yours handed out in class about the IRS or church newsletter. Fred lost a string in the house which was all tied up. What do you see? Fred Looking for a knotted string? Or Fred looking at a knotted house?...
