Paradigmatic Change: In linguistics, these are language changes brought about because a sound or a word was associated with a different sound or word. Algeo provides the following example: . . . The side of a ship on which it was laden (that is loaded) was called the ladeboard, but its opposite, starboard, influenced a change in pronunication to larboard. Then, because larboard was likely to be confused with starboard because of their similarity of sound, it was generally replaced by port. (11)(also called associative change)
