British newspapers
We seem to be moving … towards a social and linguistic
situation in which nobody says or writes or probably
knows anything more than an approximation to what he or
she means.
[The Sunday Times 1999]

English used to be a language which foreigners couldn’t
pronounce but could often understand. Today it is rapidly
becoming a language which the English can’t pronounce
and few foreigners can understand.
[The Daily Telegraph 1968]
British newspapers

We go out of our ways to promulgate incessantly … the
very ugliest sounds and worst possible grammars.

What linguists say
The history of all Aryan languages is nothing but a gradual
process of decay.
[Max Müller 1886]
![Page 13: Principles of Language Change · 2014. 6. 24. · Readings Trask, R.L. 1996. Historical Linguistics. London: Arnold. Aitchison, J. Language Change.Progress or Decay.

What linguists say
In the evolution of languages the discarding of old flexions
goes hand in hand with the development of simpler and
more regular expedients that are rather less liable than the
old ones to produce misunderstandings.
[Otto Jespersen 1922]
![Page 14: Principles of Language Change · 2014. 6. 24. · Readings Trask, R.L. 1996. Historical Linguistics. London: Arnold. Aitchison, J. Language Change.Progress or Decay.

What linguists say
Progress in the absolute sense is impossible, just as it is in
morality or politics. It is simply that different states exist,
succeeding each other, each dominated by certain general
laws imposed by the equilibrium of the forces with which
they are confronted. So it is with language.
[Joseph Vendryes 1923]
