1.2.2 Canadian, Australian and Indian English
As we said, American English is not the only option available. In addition to Irish and Scottish variants, which we will discuss later, there are Australian English (AuE), Canadian English, Indian English. Each of them has created its own literature, is distinguished by its peculiarities in phonetics, spelling rules, grammar and vocabulary.
Canadian English is influenced by BrE and AmE, but it has its own characteristics. Purely Canadian words are not often found outside of Canada, with the exception of shack, "hut," and fathom out, "explain."
1.2.3 Scottish and Irish English
Scottish (ScE) and Irish English have a special linguistic status compared to dialects because of their literature. However, compared to AmE, they differ in that they are underrepresented in the research literature. A comparative analysis of these languages with BrE still awaits researchers. Irina Vladimirovna Arnold provided a brief analysis in her book (Arnold IV 1986, pp. 262-265).
Some features of the Irish version can be seen in an example from JM Synge's play: "I never told my story anywhere, Pegin Mike, and it was stupid to be here, maybe I'll talk freely, but you I think" decent people" and you are a kind woman, I was not afraid of you at all."
2.1 Breakdown of Australian English
Since the early 1970s, the situation in the world has changed: England ceased to dominate its overseas colonies, because it decided to join the European Union, and significant changes took place in the self-perception of Australians. : Australia is no longer felt. by them as part of Britain in the Pacific - now it has become an independent country with its own characteristics. Only in Australia, the culture and languages of the peoples of the whole world have their rightful place - a unique phenomenon that cannot be repeated in other countries like here. Australians have become more aware of their belonging to the Asia-Pacific part of the world.
Researchers identify a number of factors that contributed to this change, including:
- Multilingual composition of the Australian population: data from the 1991 census show that 14.5% of the country's population does not use English for communication at home, this percentage is much higher in large cities (26% in Melbourne, 24% in Sydney .9 percent). In the northern region, the largest concentration of aborigines is the region, 23.7%;
- The weakening of relations with Great Britain, in particular, the cancellation of traditional benefits for the residents of the British Commonwealth of Nations in Great Britain itself after the departure of the Great Britain from the eastern part of the Suez Canal and the entry of Great Britain into the European Union;
