In America, the Army G.I. Bill has indirectly had a large influence on language, as it opened universities to different classes of people other than the wealthy. In literature, this brought a much different style of writing, not to mention themes and subject matter few had previously been exposed to. Linguistically, the same sort of style changes have occurred as regional and class-oriented speech was introduced by more rurally raised students and professors.
