AMERICAN ENGLISH
INTRODUCTION
English is the first language for around three hundred and fifty thousand people, the mother tongue of twelve nations, the official or semiofficial language of thirty-three nations. It is the most popular language of international communication. It is spoken and written by hundreds of million people of different nationalities, e.g., more than three thousand newspapers and magazines are published in English in India. It is the language of science, business, and information technology and communication today.
English has become the "new Latin” of our modernity. In different countries it is a must for most technical jobs, such as pilots, scientists. A huge amount of people on the Earth speak and study English. Its influence is very increasable. It can influence not only the dictionary, but also the linguistic structure of other languages.

Once Sir George Bernard Shaw said, “America and Britain are two countries separated by the same language”. It reflects what many British feel about American English.
American English began to develop as soon as the first colonists from England arrived to the New World. It had more success than British being cleaner and more correct. The settlers who came from many different parts of Great Britain were together in new and risky conditions, so they tried to keep only common in speech to all of them.
It is interesting to know that today's American English has signs of British English of 17 and even 16 centuries, which are quite archaic for modern British.
The difference between the American and British variants was more significant at the beginnning of the twentieth century, but later thanks to the mass media, especially radio and television, this discrepancy was softened.
dissention between English in America and English in the UK was discussed in the special linguistic and popular literature for a long time: which of the variants of the English language should be considered as a standard and whether American English should be considered as an independent.
We can see how much attention is paid to the study of their differences in the works of such linguists as Halperin, A.Schweitzer, J. Algeo.
The aim of this paper is to study the origin of American English vocabulary.
And the objectives are:
1. To study the background of American English.
2. To find and describe the discrepancy between British English and American English.
3. To make up a short vocabulary of American English Words.
Problems of the work:
1. To define the specific spheres of vocabulary where American English developed in its own way.
2. To investigate the etymology of the American English words from the specific spheres.
In this paper we used such methods as:
1. Descriptive method.
2. Comparative method.
