Analogic change refers to a tendency to generalize the rules of language, a major cause of language change. We mentioned two instances, the general- ization of the plural rule (cow/kine becoming cow/cows) and the generaliza- tion of the past-tense formation rule (light/lit becoming light/lighted). Think of at least three other instances of nonstandard usage that are analogic; they are indicators of possible future changes in the language. (Hint: Con- sider fairly general rules and see whether you know of dialects or styles that overgeneralize them, for example, comparative formation by adding -er.)
