Введение
Australian English is a regional dialect which shares its linguistic inventory with Southern British English through the historical connection with the dialects of the British Isles in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and aboriginal language. Speakers of present-day Australian English are typically those who are born in Australia or who immigrate at an early age when peer influence is maximal. Such speakers fall into three major dialect subgroups: Standard Australian English, Aboriginal English and Ethnocultural Australian English. Standard Australian English is the dominant dialect and is used by the vast majority of speakers. It is a salient marker of national identity, and is used in broadcasting and in public life. The Aboriginal and Ethnocultural varieties are minority dialects allowing speakers to express their cultural identity within the multicultural Australian context.
But unfortunately the study of Australian English is still a rather neglected topic of linguistic research especially if it is compared with the work done on the American and British versions of English. This situation has improved since the days of the pioneering works of S. Baker, A. Mitchell and A. Delbridge but outside Australia there is virtually only a handful of studies to be found. Notable exceptions are the works of R. Dabke (1976) and G. Leitner (1984). K. Lentzner (1891) studied Australian English in the nineteenth century.
The first works on Australian English focused on the origin of the particular Australian pronunciation, the mixing of dialects and the vocabulary of settlers and convicts. The main protagonists of this period were S. Baker, D. Blair, R.D. Eagleson, G. Gunn, R.K. Langker, W.S. Ramson and G.W. Turner. But in the 1970s the interest in the historical study of Australian English declined rapidly and gave way to studies of present-day usage with special attention devoted to the language contact situation of Aborigines and immigrants, sociolinguistic variables and differences and similarities between the usage of English in Australia and other parts of the world. Among the most prominent names and works are D. Bradley, P. Bryant, M. Clyne, P. Collins and D. Blair, E. Eisikovitz, B/M. Horvath, A.G. Mitchell and A. Delbridge, M. Newbrook and other scholars. But though there are many scientific works concerning the Australian English this variant of the English language need in additional researches due to their complication and versatility.
The purpose of this work is to provide a description of the main features of Australian English in common.
With this purpose the following goals were carried out:
- to give the common characteristics to the Australian English as a version of the English language;
- to trace the specific features of the Australian English in phonetics, grammar, lexis and phraseology to determine its difference from the British version of English;
- to analyze the sociolinguistic situation in present-day Australia and to prove its influence to the Australian English;
- to view the multicultural status of Australian English.
In our qualification work we used the descriptive, comparative, definitive and cultural methods of researches.
Theoretical basis of our research are the scientific works of the following scholars: S. Baker, L. Bauer, J. Bennet, J. Bernard, D. Blair, S. Butler, R. Burchfield, S. Castles, M. Clyne, P. Collins, F. Cox, R. Dabke, W.H. Douglas, W.B. Gudykunst, J. Holm, B.M. Horvath, O. Jespersen, J. Jupp, A. Knight, G. Leitner, I.G. Malcolm, M. Newbrook, I. Piller, B. Taylor, P. Trudgill, G.W. Turner and others.
Practical basis of the work is the data of the lexicographical sources (explanatory dictionaries, etymological dictionaries, historical and cultural encyclopedias, dictionaries of special lexis, books on history of Australia and Australian languages, ecc.)
