American variety of the English language The distinctive peculiarities of American and British varieties of the English language are especially seen in the areas of semantics, spelling, pronunciation and grammar . Semantics. Type I: same objects, different names (sweets – candy) Type II: same word, different meanings (American/ English“false friends”: chips – fries; crisps – chips) Spelling . Some of differences affect individual words; some of them involve particular letter sequences, they are regular and predictable (our-or, tre-ter , nce-nse , l- ll ) Pronunciation . Sounds [a:]-[ э ];[o]-[a];[ ju :]-[u]; r- colouring ; nasalization of the vowels. Different patterns in stress and intonation. Grammar .

Difficulties we faced Use of this work The level of our knowledge of English Work with dictionaries of different types Work with referential and scientific literature in both languages Presentation of stages of the project at the lessons Giving information to our students about things they have never heard before “Up-grading” the level of our English Experiencing the jobs of translators, researches and linguists

Слайд 10

To sum up We have analyzed all found information in which areas there are more differences between British and American varieties of English and have systematized this information. We have considered geographical spreading of the English language across the world and grounded the reasons why so many countries use this language. We have concluded that American English is more archaic, conservative and is behind British English in its development; but at the same time it easily accepts new words of emigrants.

Слайд 11

The main conclusion And the main thing: we realized how important it is to learn English. Global English is gradually, and very fast, becoming the most spreading language in the world. The work on the project was rather hard, but very interesting and creative. We felt to be real linguists. This activity is quite new and has a great practical meaning – we have learned to work with dictionaries of different types, with scientific and popular literature .
