Key Factors contributing to Language Variation

Abstract

Language undergoes constant evolution due to various key factors. This review synthesizes insights from books and academic journals to examine the key factors driving language variation. Regional dialects, social hierarchies, migration, and historical events, such as colonization, significantly contribute to linguistic diversity. Additionally, globalization and digital communication accelerate language change by introducing new vocabulary and modifying linguistic structures. Political and educational systems also play a crucial role in shaping language standardization and variation. This paper aims to investigate on the significant factors that changes a language to variations which take place over periods of time on language characteristics. To collect the data, the researchers used research techniques such as textual and narrative analysis, and review synthesizes insights from books and academic journals to inspect the key factors that effect on language variation. The study reveals that there are many factors cause change in a language to dialects and accents such as social, geographical, cultural, and political factors. When a language changes to accents it changes from its pronunciation aspect but when a language changes to dialects the grammar, usage and vocabulary of the language are changing. So, it is a common phenomenon that a language changes to dialects and accents. Almost all languages change to various dialects and accents in their own area of spoken. The reason for such changes is needed to be cleared. So, in this paper I attempt to find out the result of what made English language to change, to what dialects, accents and finally variations.
