3、an English; Origination; Development; Individualisms. 1. IntroductionBased on the lasting prosperity of American in aspects of politics, economy, and culture, together with its deep effect in international society, American English is punching the whole world with different kinds of methods. In our
4、country, for a long time English education has been taking Britain English as the learning standard, students learn the Britain English standard pronunciation. However, in recent years, American English is affecting more and more, large quantities of files and documents from American teachers or sch
5、ools have proved this. Many scientific, economical books are also written in English. To research a language, we should do know its origination, because history molds and regulates language. This thesis, tries to analyze the external reasons for American English to be developed based on the main ind
6、ividualisms of it.2. The main individualisms of American English2.1. The creativity of American English.American English has maintained large quantities of special language that does now not exist in Britain English. Compared to present standard Britain English, American English can be ancient; its
7、ancient property can be reflected in the usage of characters. It maintained and refreshed some words that are not used in the present Britain English. Some words are now not used in present standard Britain English, but only limited to the local language, but in American English, they are still comm
8、on words. The sailor Columbus discovered this “new land”, with wide range and sufficient material, the local people obey the racial traditions and culture, the free and opened living environment molded American people as open minded and smart, thus American English can also be imaginative. At that t
9、ime, some Americans thought that a new word can be created by combining the phonotactics with new forms or just reform the letters. Thus they created many words that originally didnt exist. As well, they also use prefixes and suffixes to create new words freely, which to a great extent completed the
10、 American English vocabulary.2.2. American English is open and inclusive.The sufficient new words that exist in American English mainly appear in the talking of western boatmen, city entrepreneurs, salesmen and expedition members. In the whole colony period, the newly increased American English word
11、s can be mainly distributed into below 3 categories: The words that absorbed from the Indian language; The words of English compounded words and the foreign words. America is an opened country, English itself is also maintaining great opening property, in its process of being developed, and American
12、 English has bravely and actively absorbed the words from other races based on inheriting Britain English vocabulary while creating its own vocabulary. The foreign words melted into the American peoples oral language and written language, greatly amplified the English language culture and prompted t
13、he cultural combination. From the fact that American English widely absorbs foreign words, we can see that American people are always open-minded and dealing with concrete issues while compensating their weaknesses with the advantage from the exterior words. The members from emigrating country would
14、 maintain less exclusive thoughts, they wont try to refuse outer culture, this may be their strategies for actual development.The French colonists have owned wide range of lands in North America; there are 27% in the most common 5000 words in American English from their own races, 17% of them from L
15、atin language, 47% from French, and 9% from other languages. Thus we can see that French is also one of the main sources for American English vocabulary. During the long-term communication of American English and German, many Germany words are also absorbed. Every 4 of American people there would be
16、 1 Germany generation. Not less Germany culture individualisms have become the common individualisms of American culture. In recent years, China, have developed in aspects of economy, military, science and education, its synthetic country power has also been developed a lot, that means China is affe
17、cting greater and greater to each of the areas in the world, just like America ,become a big country that is enough to affect the whole world. The position of Chinese language is also elevated obviously, during the complicated communication between America and China, their languages are also affecti
18、ng each other, and American English again has absorbed large quantities of words from Chinese.2.3Resources of American vocabulary reflects the individualism of American people.Rapidly developing American society tries to lead the people to search new words about new things, new views and new minds w
19、ith different kinds of modes. If there arent existing words, they would just create it. If there are existing words, they would expand its sense. New words, new senses of American language are the consequence of the development of the American society and the combination of multi-culture, and this i
20、s the doomed consequent. The apperance and common usage of new words also reflect the quality of being good at innovation also shows that Americans are in favor of expedition. They are used to creating, In their eyes, nothing is impossible. Only if you can do it hard, you would succeed. There is a c
