American Variety of English Language
- Mamedzade Sevinj
Abstract
In linguistics, dialect is the language that is used in certain area. Even when two people speak the same language, they may not speak it in the same way. In linguistics, we use the terms dialect and variety to describe the particularities of the speech of any regional or social group. Although all speech (and all language) belongs to one variety or another, the speech of the dominant class is popularly referred to as the standard and the speech of minority groups are labeled as dialects. Knowing the history of the different varieties of a language can tell us a lot about the history of a language, a region, and a people.
In this article, our main purpose is not to study all the dialect varieties of English language, but to analyze the specific events which are against to grammatical rules and which cause problems while speaking in English or while translating. There are some grammatical forms that don’t exist in Standard English language, but they are used in spoken language in every part of the country. The example of this grammatical construction is the dialect variety of English speaking countries.
