Abstract
Članek obravnava različne pojave, kot so preglas, harmonija samoglasnikov in gramatikalizacija, ki povzročajo jezikovne spremembe. Zdi se, da so ti procesi univerzalni, saj so zanačilni za številne svetovne jezike. V razpravi so primerjani angleški, nemški, švedski, latinski, španski, francoski, arabski, poljski, srbski, makedonski, romunski, grški in finski jezik ter tok pisin. The article discusses various processes, such as umlaut, vowel harmony, lenition and grammaticalisation, which lead to language change. These processes seem to be universal and they can be found in numerous languages of the world. Aspects of the following languages are going to be discussed here: English, German, Swedish, Latin, Spanish, French, Arabic, Polish, Serbian, Macedonian, Romanian, Greek, Finnish and Tok Pisin.
