  Article:   VARIETIES OF ENGLISH USAGE.

Authors:  CORINA PĂCURAR.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  No single system of conventions and rules can accurately describe all the complexities of a language. Whether we like it or not, our language is changing and is varied, and because of this, it offers choices. Living languages such as English grow and change continually. Ordinarily the changes are slow and barely noticeable. The changes we observe over great periods of time are not the only variations that occur in a language. At any moment in its history, a language also shows many internal variations, both spoken and written. We will try to identify some of them.
