An assumption important to the comparative method is the Neogrammarian principle that the laws governing sound change are regular and have no exceptions that cannot be accounted for by some other regular phenomenon of language.
In contrast to genetic evolution, some historical linguists maintain that all sound changes are regular, with apparent irregularities arising from a number of processes working simultaneously, but others allow that sporadic effects also occur [ 13 15].
It is important for historical linguistics because it clearly demonstrates the principle that sound change is a regular phenomenon and not a random process affecting only some words, as had been thought previously.
The need for the patient to change is stressed at regular intervals.
Sound change is usually assumed to be regular, which means that it is expected to apply mechanically whenever its structural conditions are met, irrespective of any non-phonological factors.
Believable change is small, especially with regular characters.
In certain sectors, regular change is not only desirable, but a necessity, according to Robert Archer, regional director of human resources at recruitment firm PageGroup.
When the topic of climate change is discussed at the regulars' table in the pub, it is dismissed as green propaganda.
A potential avenue to monitor these changes is through regular collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), self-reports related to symptoms (e.g., type, frequency, severity, duration), functioning (e.g., health limitations, activities of daily living), perceptions (e.g., satisfaction with treatment) and overall well-being.
