Conclusion

English in the United States is one of the national varieties of English. It is characterized by the entire sum of the features that characterize the national language as a sociolinguistic category. The linguistic situation in English-speaking countries is characterized by the fact that the British, Americans, Canadians, Australians, etc., although they sometimes tend to exaggerate the linguistic differences between the versions of the English language they use, at the same time feel that they belong to a single linguistic community. The fact that English in the United States is a variant of the English language, and not a separate language, is reflected in both the objective and the subjective side of the linguistic situation.

In this paper, we examined the differences, phonetic and lexical differences between American and British versions of the English language, studied the history of the formation of the English language in the United States and various points of view of famous linguists on this issue.

The material considered allows us to draw the following conclusions:

1. American English is only a variant of English, not a language of its own.

2. It was proved the statement about the mutual penetration and assimilation of the American and British versions of the English language, as well as the fact that, in general, the role of semantic differences is small, since the version of the English language spoken in the United States is understandable to the speakers of the British version and vice versa ...

3. In general, American speech is characterized by an even direction of tone movement, a more rhythmic melody, leading to an acceleration of the rate of pronunciation.
