INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, the generally recognized language of international communication is English. It is 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). This is the language of modern business, science, office work, information technology and, of course, communication.
English is the most studied language in the world, whose influence is so huge that it can affect not only the vocabulary, but also the linguistic structure of other languages, so now more than a billion people on earth speak and strive to speak English. English centred contribute to the widespread use of the English language in the modern world.
The richness of the dictionary (about 600000 words, according to the Oxford Dictionary, not including special technical vocabulary) and a large percentage of international concepts (up to 200000 words) are one of the possible reasons for the spread of the English language.
American English turned out to be a more successful rival to British, and there were several reasons for this. One of them is that American English was linguistically especially pure and correct, since the settlers , people from different parts of Britain, finding themselves together in new and risky conditions, were forced to discard dialect differences and keep in speech only what was common to all of them. It is interesting that, being a modernized version of English, the language of Americans at the same time retains the obvious features of the English language of the 17^th and even 16^th centuries, which for modern Britons are quite archaic, having disappeared in the 18^th century. The discrepancy between the American and English versions was much more significant at the beginning of this century, but later, thanks to the media, primarily television, this discrepancy was somewhat smoothed out. About 70% of native English speakers live in the United States, and it is language variant becoming dominant when learning English as a foreign language. In 20^th century, it was America that contributed most to the spread of the English language.
For a long time, the differences between English in America and English in Great Britain have been discussed both in specialized linguistics and popular literature. To this day, disputes continue about which of the variants of the English language should be considered exemplary and whether American English should be considered an independent
language, finally separated from British English.
