Canadian english ppp
Canadian English has several distinguishing features from other forms of English:
- It has two official languages, English and French, as well as several indigenous languages.
- Spelling follows some British conventions like colour and centre but also incorporates some American spellings.
- Pronunciation is generally rhotic like American English but also exhibits features like Canadian raising.
- Vocabulary is mostly similar to American English but includes some distinct words like loonie, click, and chesterfield.
- Grammar has a mixture of rules from British and American English regarding article and possessive use.
- Informal speech includes interjections like eh and slang words like hoser that are characteristically Canadian.
Canada
Canadian English is a hybrid of British and American Englishes that has also been influenced by French. It developed from four major waves of immigration and combines spelling conventions from both British and American English. Regionally, Western and Central Canadian dialects exhibit rhoticity like in American English, while words of French origin retain their original French pronunciation.
British and American English
The document discusses the evolution of American and British English from a shared origin in Old English brought to America by early settlers in the 1600s, to the development of distinct dialects over time due to divergent influences, with Noah Webster playing a key role in standardizing American English through his dictionaries in the early 1800s.
Differences between American english and British English
British and American English differ in grammar, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and other linguistic features. Some key differences include:
- Grammar: British English prefers the present perfect tense while American English uses the simple past tense.
- Vocabulary: Words can have different meanings or lexical choices between the two varieties.
- Spelling: British English spellings often end in "-our" while American uses "-or". Words are also sometimes shorter in American English.
- Punctuation: British English uses commas with titles like Mr., Mrs., Dr. while American does not.
- Dates: British English uses the order day/month/year and adds the article "the" before the date
American vs british english
The document compares British and American English, noting that while the two forms originated from a common source, they have diverged over time in various areas such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and punctuation. Some key differences mentioned are the pronunciation of R, use of the present perfect tense, collective nouns taking singular or plural verbs, preposition usage, spellings influenced by French, and punctuation of titles.
Language and-thought
This document discusses the relationship between language and thought. It presents several perspectives on this relationship, including:
1) Classical theorists like Plato argued that thought determines language, while others like Watson believed thought is language.
2) A view called linguistic determinism holds that language determines thought and cognitive categories. A weaker view is linguistic relativism, that language influences but does not determine thought.
3) The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes linguistic determinism and relativity, that language influences or determines perception of reality. Evidence from languages like Hopi, Inuit, and Navaho are presented to support these ideas. However, critics argue linguistic determinism is too strong and perception can be expressed without exact words
Dialects and Accents
Dialect refers to a variety of a language spoken by a group of people that is characterized by systematic differences in phonological, lexical, and grammatical features from other varieties of the same language. An accent is a variation in pronunciation and is a subset of dialect. The document discusses factors like geographical location, social class, and education that can influence dialect variation. It provides examples of prominent dialects in American English like New England and Southern accents, as well as British English dialects like Received Pronunciation and Cockney. Dialects and accents vary in terms of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
Translation -Lexical Meaning-
This document discusses different types of meanings that can be conveyed through language, including:
- Lexical meaning conveyed by individual words
- Propositional meaning conveyed by sentences
- Expressive meaning that shows attitude
- Presupposed meaning implied but not directly stated
- Evoked meaning associated with context like dialect, register, field, and tenor
It also provides examples of how meanings can differ across languages and contexts.

Difference Between American English And British English
The document discusses the key differences between American English and British English, including differences in grammar, vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, and other areas. It provides examples of grammatical differences like usage of the present perfect tense and collective nouns. Vocabulary differences highlighted include words for clothes, transportation, buildings, and other categories. The importance of understanding these differences for language teachers is also noted.
British English vs American English
This document provides a summary of some key differences between American English and British English in terms of vocabulary, transportation, politics, buildings, dates, weight measurements, greetings, idioms, spelling, grammar, pronunciations and other linguistic differences. It outlines differences in terms used for education, exams, drunk driving, political processes, floor levels in buildings, date formats, weight units, holiday greetings, spelling of words, verb forms, grammatical structures, prepositions and more.
Phonological and Phonetic Features of Pakistani English
This document describes the phonological and phonetic features of Pakistani English across four varieties: Variety A (Anglicized), Variety B (Acrolect), Variety C (Mesolect), and Variety D (Basilect). It outlines the segmental features such as substitution of dental fricatives, aspiration of stops, and diphthongs. Non-segmental features include stress, rhythm and intonation patterns differing from RP due to influence from Pakistani languages. The varieties range from close to RP English in Variety A to heavy L1 influence in Variety D where pronunciation is mostly guided by orthography except in common words.
English vowel system
The English vowel system is determined by the position of the lips, tongue, and palate. Vowels are produced without obstruction to airflow from the lungs. Their sounds are created by subtle changes in the shape of the vocal tract. For example, the vowel sound /i:/ as in "bean" is made with the tongue raised towards the roof of the mouth, while /u:/ as in "boon" has the back of the tongue raised. Vowels also differ based on lip rounding and length.
AMERICAN ENGLISH
This document discusses the varieties of American English and their development. It addresses the differences between African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and White American English Vernaculars (WAEV). AAVE developed from contact between English and African languages, while WAEVs developed by introducing features from British English varieties. Today, the contact theory of AAVE's development is more widely accepted. The document also examines features of AAVE such as absence of copula and consonant clusters, and discusses attitudes towards southern accents.
Language Variation
This document discusses various types of language variation including dialects, sociolects, idiolects, registers, pidgins, and creoles. It notes that dialects are varieties of a language used by a particular group that share non-linguistic characteristics. Pidgins develop for communication between groups that don't share a common language, while creoles emerge when a pidgin becomes a community's native language.
Words - Morphology Presentation- Dr. Shadia Y. Banjar
This document discusses the definition and classification of words. It defines words as linguistic units that can be identified by pauses in speech. Words are then classified as simple, complex, or compound. Simple words contain a single morpheme, while complex words contain two bound morphemes or a bound and free morpheme. Compound words contain two or more free morphemes that imply a grammatical relationship, such as subject-verb or adjective-noun.
Varieties of english
Regional variations in English dialects can emerge from geographical dispersion and isolation, potentially developing into distinct languages over time. Social variations occur between ethnic, socioeconomic, age, gender, and education groups. While no single standard of English is universally accepted, national standards have emerged in countries like the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. These standards differ in orthography, vocabulary, and pronunciation depending on things like region, social group, topic of discussion, whether written or spoken, and level of formality.
Language & Ethnicity
The document discusses language and ethnicity. It defines ethnicity as being identified with a group descended from common ancestors who share cultural traits like language, religion, and dress. Ethnic varieties of English arise from the languages of immigrant groups and can influence mainstream English over time through the spread of lexical and grammatical features. The document asks questions about ethnic identity and the relationship between ethnicity and language, and provides examples of characteristics and influences on ethnic varieties of English in the US and expressions that have spread to mainstream English from ethnic varieties.
Functional Syllabuses
A functional syllabus organizes language teaching content around communicative functions like inviting, requesting, agreeing, and apologizing. It focuses on the communicative purposes of language rather than just grammar. Functions are sequenced based on ideas like chronology, frequency, or usefulness. While a functional syllabus can increase language usefulness, its isolation of functions may limit interactional ability if not synthesized into discourse. It also lacks clear criteria for selecting functions and risks an atomistic or phrase-book approach.
American english [автосохраненный]
American English has the most native speakers globally. While English is the dominant language, nearly 20% of Americans speak a language other than English at home. The main non-English languages spoken are Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and French. There is no official language declared by the US government, though English is the de facto national language. Debate continues around policies of official English-only versus English-plus approaches to language use and acquisition among immigrant communities. Distinct American English dialects have developed regionally across the North, South, Midlands, and West.

Language & culture
Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. Key aspects studied include languages in contact, language variation, and language and gender. [1] Language varies based on social factors like gender, age, social class, and ethnicity. [2] Men and women tend to use language differently, with women generally using more questions, self-disclosure, and minimal responses while men tend toward verbal aggression and changing conversation topics. [3] The study of language variation according to social factors provides insights into membership in social groups and cultural norms.
Syllable and syllabification
The document discusses the concept of the syllable in phonology. It defines a syllable as a unit of sound that is larger than a phoneme but smaller than a word. A syllable typically consists of three elements - the onset, nucleus (peak), and coda. The nucleus is obligatory and is usually a vowel or syllabic consonant, while the onset and coda are optional consonant segments. There are also discussions around different theories that attempt to define the syllable, such as theories based on sonority, prominence, or chest pulses during speech. The document also examines issues relating to syllable structure, types (open vs. closed), weight (light vs. heavy), and syllabification in English words.
Individual differences in second language learning
The document discusses individual differences that can impact second language learning, including intelligence, aptitude, and learning styles. It describes research showing intelligence is related to certain language skills but not oral abilities. Aptitude tests measure the ability to learn sounds, grammar, and vocabulary. Learning styles, like field independence/dependence and Kolb's styles, influence how learners prefer to intake information. Educators hope understanding these differences can help all learners succeed.
"The study of language" - Chapter 20
This document discusses language and culture from a linguistic perspective. It explains that culture refers to the ideas and assumptions we learn as members of social groups, including our particular language. Our language provides a system for categorizing the world that is acquired without conscious awareness. Some key linguistic categories discussed are kinship terms, time concepts, and grammatical markers. Social categories refer to how we are connected to others, demonstrated through pronouns. Gender is discussed as the distinction between male and female that is reflected linguistically in areas like grammatical gender, gendered words, interaction, and speech.
Lingua franca
The document discusses the concept of a lingua franca, which is a language used for communication between groups that do not share a native language. It provides examples such as Arabic serving as a lingua franca in the Islamic world historically and English currently serving as a global lingua franca. When languages are used as lingua francas, they often undergo simplification, reduction, and interference from other languages, which can result in the development of a pidgin language over time if it becomes stabilized and acquires native speakers. Pidgins are then subject to creolization if they are learned as a first language by children and expand in structural complexity and social uses.
Scandinavian languages (The North Germanic languages)
The North Germanic languages, also called Scandinavian languages, are spoken by about 20 million people in Scandinavia. They include Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faroese. These languages share several distinctive grammatical features like adding definite articles as suffixes to nouns. While they derive from a common Proto-Germanic ancestor and share many sound changes, political and cultural developments over time have led to some differences in vocabulary between the languages. The oldest written records that show features of Scandinavian languages are runic inscriptions from the 8th to 11th centuries, while manuscripts in Latin script from the 12th century on provide more materials in Old Norse, the main representative of the older forms of these languages.
Contact language, Pidgin & Creole
This document discusses pidgin and creole languages. It defines pidgin as a simplified language that develops for communication between groups that speak different languages. Pidgins have no native speakers and basic grammar. Creoles evolve from pidgins and become the native language of a community, with more complex grammar and phonology. Examples provided are Tok Pisin, Hawai'i Creole English, and Jamaican Creole. Pidgins are used for trade and practical communication while creoles take on properties of full languages.
Brief history of English
English originated from Germanic tribes invading Britain in the 5th century AD and bringing their Anglo-Saxon language. Over centuries, English absorbed words from Latin during the Roman occupation, Old Norse from Viking invaders, and French following the Norman conquest in 1066. English became the dominant language of Britain and spread worldwide through the British Empire in the 18th-19th centuries, incorporating words from other languages. Today, English has over 1 billion speakers globally and continues to serve as a prominent international language despite having many regional varieties.

Introduction to Canadian culture
Canada is a vast country with most of its population living near the US border. It has a diverse population of immigrants who have struggled to establish a distinct national identity separate from British and American influences. Canadians value humility, politeness, and tolerance, and are suspicious of adulation or heroes. They tend to have an inferiority complex towards the US but also want to maintain independence.

2. However, others pointed to uniquely Canadian cultural aspects like poetry, paintings, and later beer as symbols of national identity.
3. Tensions between French- and English-speaking communities, especially in Quebec, have been a ongoing issue due to differences in language and culture.

Learn about-canada
Canada has a complex history with multiple cultures that contributed to feelings that it lacked a distinct culture. Reasons for this included that other colonized places had clear differences from Britain, Canada was formed gradually through the joining of separate settlements, and it had both French and English languages. This caused tensions, seen in Quebec separatist referendums. However, Canadians have found common pride in things like maple syrup, hockey, and popular culture. While managing both French and English has been challenging, Canada celebrates its bilingual identity and diversity.

Daniel foe
Daniel Defoe was an English writer born in 1660 who is considered the founder of the English novel. Some of his most famous works include Moll Flanders, A Journal of the Plague Year, and Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe was based partly on the true story of Scottish castaway Alexander Selkirk, who spent over four years stranded on an uninhabited island in the early 1700s. Defoe came from a middle-class family, received a dissenting education, and published many political pamphlets and satires throughout his career in addition to his groundbreaking novels.
