CONCLUSION


English is now an internationally recognized language of communication. It is used on all national airlines, spoken and written by hundreds of millions of people of different nationalities (for example, in India alone up to three thousand newspapers are published in English). It is the language of modern business, science, office work, information technology and, of course, communication.
Now more than a billion people on earth speak and aspire to speak English, English is the most studied language in the world, whose influence is so enormous that it can influence not only the vocabulary, but also the linguistic structure of other languages. One of the possible reasons for the spread of English is the richness of the vocabulary (about 600,000 words according to the Oxford dictionary, not counting technical words) and the high percentage of international notions (up to 200,000 words). We should add to this the wealth of synonymic series, which allows native English speakers to distinguish shades of meaning.
The American version of English is a more successful opponent of British English, and there are several reasons for that. One is that American English was particularly linguistically pure and correct, since the settlers, people from different corners of Britain, finding themselves together in new and risky circumstances, had to discard dialectal differences and retain in their speech only what was common to them all. Interestingly, as a modernized version of English, the language of Americans at the same time retains the obvious features of the English "Elizabethan" language of the 17th and even 16th centuries, which for modern Britons are quite archaic, having disappeared back in the 18th century.
"In a whole range of fields of human life and activity--in material culture, economics and finance, education and health, and many other fields--the American version is becoming increasingly common throughout the world and
tends to supplant the Briticisms " At present the USA has the greatest number
of the native speakers of English (in 1995 the population of the USA was 263057 thousand people). It was America in the twentieth century that contributed the most to the spread of the English language.
In this study, an analysis of the studied literature was made, which allows us to trace the development of the American variant of the English language.
Thus, this paper proves the following:

  1. The American variant of English is characterized by simplified spelling. Noah Webster introduced many colloquialisms into the dictionary, explaining that if all the people use the word, then it has a right to enter the language. But at the same ti me, all these processes are carried out on the material of the English language specifically.

  2. Noah Webster and Mencken often expressed controversial, erroneous, and sometimes fundamentally flawed views. Many of their theoretical arguments seem naive and overly straightforward. But overall, their writings have played a positive role and have had a great influence on the work of many American linguists, focusing their attention on the peculiarities of the English language in the United States and the need to develop its literary norms.
