The study of language change and variation is the ‘core of the sociolinguistic enterprise’, and it has ‘a relatively short history’ (Chambers et al. 2002, p.1). Diachronic change occurs in which the phonological, lexical, syntactic, semantic, discourse, pragmatic, and other features of a language are modified over time. In addition, at any given moment, a language also has a variety within itself among different communities of its speakers, and this variety is known as synchronic variation.
