paraphrase

[aous02]

Since the advent of applied linguistics as a sub-branch of linguistics serving practical needs, there has occurred a change in the world of linguistics.
Can anyone give a good paraphrasal of the underlined sentence apart from "change hhas taken place in the world of linguistics"

kind regards,

How about: The world of linguistics has changed

 

[Leandro-Z]

I would say:

There has been such modifications to the linguistics world.

Good luck...

I think s/he'd be wanting something in correct English.
"Such" doesn't work in this sentence. What does it refer to?
