Answer:
1 linguistic shifts, spelling variances, and dialect changes- pronunciation and spelling changes
2. more direct and simplified sentences- punctuation changes
3. borrowed and coined words- vocabulary changes
4. amelioration and pejoration- meaning changes
Explanation:
The above changes reflect the various ways that words and sentences are formed in the English language to communicate a clearer meaning.
- Pronunciation and spelling changes will affect the ways words are pronounced amidst different dialects and will also account for differences in spelling.
- When words are properly punctuated, sentences become clearer and more simplified.
- Vocabulary is the compilation of words used in a given language. Some are borrowed from other languages, while others are coined to give their meanings.
- Amelioration and pejoration refer to the changes in the meaning of words. Amelioration occurs when a word with a negative meaning becomes elevated to assume a positive meaning. Pejoration occurs when a word with a positive meaning assumes a negative meaning.

The Concordat of 1801, is an agreement signed on July 15th, between Napoleon, and the church representatives, in Rome and Paris.
This agreement defined the position of the Roman Catholic Church in France, put an end to the rupture caused by the reforms carried out by the church, and the confiscations that took place during the French Revolution.
This agreement, gave the first Consul (Napoleon), the right to nominate bishops, and new seminaries were established.
