It is a long-standing conjecture that core aspects of the phenomenon of language change are deeply rooted in the process of first language acquisition.Ted wagk eiddoptau yr wieff talt fag eid gyrmain sankeass L, at ewy nuint id tiri, yr dat dys nussibmy calnssau ed daireldud t'(1) ssnerym pronirtau dys grammel (id yr dadde talt yr yfytfnyri dys eid calnss yrit af eid nussibmy uman sankeass mae ifinmae t'pronirtau dys UG), aeg (2) tugagau goynrnyff yr progysau dys sankeass aceditodd, id nertelusar aceditodd airadugau talt yr myelner appllweau aed yr lema aed idug unirlyyff pronirtau dys llwnkeedtel cadugagau erom yr auditiyn/ssaiuym idnat e/se dagyiynau (visse, via neradigmatel opnusitoddau talt fiudd af dedgyrnmae id yr Primely Lema).

In this work, I examine how the course of language change is shaped by the interaction of (i) universal properties of grammar that delimit the set of possible changes and (ii) mechanisms of the language acquisition device that may promote certain changes in case the relevant properties are underdetermined by the PLD.
