Explanation:

1- Orthography is the set of rules and conventions that govern the usual writing system established for a standard language.

2- The specialization is a consequence of the linguistic change. Specialization is a process that reduces the variety of formal choices to express a certain meaning.

3- Pejorative or derogatory is the use of language with a negative purpose for what is designated.
