This article looks at how grammatical structures change throughout time as it delves into the role of grammar in language change. An examination of changes in syntax, morphology, and phonology shows how grammar affects and reflects the growth of language. The study says that grammar isn't a passive system; it actively helps language change over time depending on sociolinguistic and historical information. The results reveal that grammatical changes are affected by both internal and exterior linguistic processes. Internal processes include things like simplification and analogy, while external processes include things like social consequences and language interaction.
