Lexical change refers to the evolution and alteration of the vocabulary of a language over time. This can include the introduction of new words, the modification of existing words, and changes in the meanings of words. Lexical change can occur through various processes, such as borrowing words from other languages, creating new words through derivation or compounding, and shifts in meaning known as semantic change. Such changes are influenced by cultural shifts, technological advancements, social interactions, and the needs of speakers, reflecting the dynamic nature of language as it adapts to the world around it.
