- Inhalt
- The lecture provides an overview of the many ways in which the two major national varieties of English differ. As is well-known, British and American English diverge systematically in the pronunciation and distribution of certain phonemes and allophones. Similarly well-known are differences in the spelling and vocabulary, which happen to provide a frequently discussed topic in the teaching of English. Above and beyond such phonetic/phonological, orthographic and lexical differences, recent research has shown that on the grammatical level, there is also a not-to-be-underestimated number of major and minor contrasts. These include differences in word formation, grammatical morphology, word order as well as syntactic relations.
The lecture will contextualize linguistic contrasts with a view to the historical evolution of the relationship between British and American English and pragmatic differences characterizing speakers' linguistic behaviour. It will equally aim at discovering system-inherent orientations that account for variety-specific tendencies. For this purpose, the diachronic dimension of the contrasts will be given an important place, and issues such as the myth of the colonial lag, the world-wide leadership of American English, internationalization and colloquialization will crop up repeatedly.
In its final part, the lecture will focus on choices made by users of English as an international lingua franca and the relevance of the descriptive differences for the teaching of English in secondary and tertiary education.
