Abstract:
The research discusses the history of both British English and American English. The main goal is to find how far the history of American English is originated in British English. The research also sheds light on the historical factors beyond the linguistic differences between British English and American English. However, these differences are restricted to vocabulary and spelling in order to give them more depth in analysis. The study comes up with several interesting findings. Among these findings is the fact that American English is basically an outcome of Elizabethan English which the Eng

Abstract:
The English Language, being an international language, is spoken all over the world with many variations. These variations occur primarily due to environmental, cultural and social differences. The main reasons for these variations are intermingling of different races and strata in a society. In this regard prominent differences can be observed at phonological levels. These phonological variations produce different kinds of English, like British and American English. In these two there are differences in intonation, stress pattern, and pronunciation.

Abstract:
With the lapse of time the two nations- Americans and British always blamed each other for “ruining” English. In this article we aim to trace historical “real culprit” and try to break stereotypes about American English status in teaching English as a second language. In comparison with Great Britain the USA has very short and contemporary history; nevertheless, in today’s world American English exceeds British and other variants of English in so many ways, as well as in the choices of language learners. American English differs from other variants of the English language by 4 specific feature

American English has a strong influence on British English, especially in the field of vocabulary and pronunciation. This article is devoted to comparing the grammatical systems of American and British English in order to identify their features and determine whether there is a similar influence of American grammar on the grammatical structure of British English. In this study, the concept of grammar is used in the traditional sense: it includes morphology (differences in word forms and word formation processes) and syntax.

English originated in Britain. Since the 17th century, with the colonial expansion of Britain, English has been brought to all parts of the world, forming many varieties of English such as British English, American English, Australian English and New Zealand English. As the population of the United States and its political and economic strength continue to increase, American English has greatly influenced other variants of English.

This project describes the work of three contemporary British novelists as they explore the possibility of self-identifying as black and British in contemporary Britain, despite the prevalence of racist attitudes that hold that these two identities are mutually exclusive. The three novels examined -- The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi, White Teeth by Zadie Smith, and Brick Lane by Monica Ali -- present black protagonists who self-identify as British.

Abstract:
Intralingual translation or rewording is an interpretation of verbal signs by means of other signs of the same language. The intralingual translation of a word demands a kind of synonymous word for circumlocution. R. Jakobson was one of the first linguists who singled out three forms of translation one of which was intralingual translation. He points out how difficult it is to come up to complete equivalency because the affected codes make certain difficulty in the translation. Even in rewording it is necessary to use combination of code units to interpret the meaning.

This study is intended to unveil whether the culinary vocabulary of British English and American English are likely to converge or diverge in the future, as a way of contributing to understanding the evolution of the English language and its varieties. The topic itself was founded in travels to America which were paired with nearly fifteen years of interaction with British English, leading to understanding that some (food) words come to have different meanings even in similar languages, and possibly also within the same language.  Understanding this led to the thesis question: Are the culinary

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the images of Oman in British travel writing from 1800 to 1970. In texts that vary from travel accounts to sailors’ memoirs, complete travelogues, autobiographies, and letters, it looks at British representations of Oman as a place, people, and culture. It argues that these writings are heterogeneous and discontinuous throughout the periods under consideration. Offering diverse voices from British travellers, this thesis challenges Edward Said’s project in Orientalism (1978) which looks to Western discourse on the Middle East homogenisingly as Eurocentric and hostile.

Abstract:
This dissertation argues that the British trauma novel emerged at the turn of the nineteenth century, in response to the rise of individualistic conceptions of personal integrity and to the increasing value given to ordinary human life. Moments of intense suffering began at this point to register as shocking and traumatic violations of the boundaries of identity, and early- to mid-nineteenth-century trauma novels explore this cultural opposition between suffering and individuation. In such novels, individual boundaries are frequently imagined in architectural terms, while trauma is cast as a s

Abstract:
As we know, one of the key issues in linguistics is the difference in language structures between closely related languages. This difference is particularly evident between American and British English. While there are notable variations in vocabulary and spelling, differences can also be found in grammar, pronunciation, and sentence structure. For instance, in British English, the agreement between verbs and subjects might be more formal or different in certain cases, while American English tends to favor simpler and more practical constructions. Additionally, pronunciation plays a significan
