Language change: Glimpses from the phonology of overseas French


E N Kwofie

Abstract

Like all social institutions, human languages “live, change and die." There are specific factors that cause the transformation and or decay of a language. The present essay focuses on the factors of language change and how far such factors can be said to apply to the development of overseas French, that is, the French language spoken outside of France.
