Summary/Abstract: Changes in the conceptualization of objects, phenomena, and processes are a major cognitive factor in grammatical change. Grammatical categorization, which has to do with changes in conceptualization, triggers semantic and formal changes in grammatical classes and categories. Changes can be enhanced by the influence of an external factor – foreign language influence and bilingualism, or an internal factor – insufficient fixation of the grammatical norm, formality of the norm or artificiality of the norm. Changes can also be spontaneous as they follow the logic of intralingual evolution.
