A sociolinguistic reinterpretation of changes in present-day english: reasons and consequences.

Abstract

Dynamics of spreading any language necessarily led to the changes of its lexical and grammatical forms, but if the process of changes in vocabulary occurs naturally (due to word-formation and borrowing), the grammatical changes are more noticeable for a native speaker and especially for those who use a language as a second one. A set of grammatical changes will cause "shifts" in all grammatical systems of language, and as a result particular difficulties often arise in the modern media of English (especially in order to whom English is not native) in the process of reading art texts in lexical and sociolinguistic areas. This process is one of the differential features of Present-day English, especially British (BE) and American (AmE) variants as competitors that stand out against other variants of English (such as the Australian or Canadian ones) with multiplicity of media, geographical area due to extralinguistic factors of their spread. Lack of substantial research in this area makes the relevance of proposed research.
