美国英语源于伊莉莎白时期的英语。其历史和美国的移民史有着非常密切的联系。 美国移民史可以追述到300多年前。 1607年,约翰•史密斯(John Smith)等首批殖民者120人乘三艘大船横越大西洋。在弗吉尼亚州(Virginia)的詹姆斯河口建立了詹姆斯城(Jamestown)。 随后不久。在1620年。从英国东部诺福克郡和沙福克郡来的清教徒乘坐“五月花号”(May Flower)船驶抵马萨诸塞州(Massachusetts)的东南部普利茅斯(Plymouth)。 建立了殖民地。 当时的英国正处于伊莉莎白一世时期。从英语发展史来看。正处于现代英语的早期开始阶段。 在最早移居新英格兰的清教徒中有一百多名还是牛津大学和剑桥大学的毕业生。他们将伊莉莎白时期的英语带到了北美新大陆。成为美国英语的起点。 从这时起。两国都说伊莉莎白时代的英语。 故而在很长一段时间里。美国英语和英国英语之间并没有什么显著不同。
早在英国殖民时期。美国的英国移民起初还和故乡保持着紧密联系。他们的语言尚随其英国本土语的变化而变化。 但随着时间的推移。美洲的英国殖民地也产生了一种不同于英国本土语的英语。
美国英语主要有以下几大特色。
1、美国英语对古英语特征的保留
美国英语是在17世纪英格兰所用的语言。与现在标准的伦敦英语相比,美国英语具有很大的古老性。其古老性主要表现在用词方面。典型的例子有:I guess。用作I think。I suppose。I believe。如I guess you are wrong.(我想你错了)。这种用法在17世纪的英国广泛流行。现在不再使用。而美国英语却把它保留下来;mad用作angry讲。如:He was mad about losing the chance(丢掉这次机会他气得要命)。这一用法在莎士比亚时期人们频繁地使用。美国英语中还保留了许多生动、形象的古老名词。如:fall。意为“秋天”。来源于thefallofleaves(落叶时节)。而标准英语从乔叟(Geoffrey Chaucer。约1346~1400年)就开始用“autumn”一词(来自法语)表示“秋天”。
2、美国英语丰富的创造性
2.1 创造一些原本根本不存在的新词如。一种具有刺激性吸引力的人开始被人们称之为pizzazz(时髦派头的人)。早期的殖民者创造的词汇也不少。如bellhop(俱乐部男侍)。debunk(结露真相)。blurb(说明)。cahoots(共谋)。skyscraper(摩天大楼)。由于科技的发展,一系列科学理论词汇也相继诞生。如black hole(黑洞)。cinerama(全景电影)。duplication(录像机)。space walk(太空行走)。最近。中国太空人的出现也使美语又有了一个新词。taikonaut(太空人)以示区别astronaut(宇航员)。
2.2 在旧词的基础上。自由地运用词缀。或者运用拼缀法(blending)和逆生法(backformation)来创造新词
如debug(寻找并除去导致错误的原因)。defog(除雾)。defrost(除霜)。racist(种族主义者)。smog(烟雾)来自于smoke(烟)和fog(雾)。medicare(医疗照顾)是由medical和care混合而成的。brunch(早午餐)是由breakfast和lunch的混合体。
美国英语频繁地运用转类法(conversion)。尤其是从名词转化为动词。如to engineer(设计)。to style(命名)。to resurrect(使复活)。to holiday(度假)。to model(当模特)等。形容词转化为名词也常出现。如a depressive(沮丧的人)。a mod erate(温和派)。friendlies(友好的人)。hostiles(敌人)。 展开

American English is originated from England, and mostly at Elizabethan time. Its immigration history is closely related to England’s history. In 1607, John Smith and 120 other colonists sailed across the Atlantic by using three ships and built Jamestown in Virginia. Later on in 1620, Priests from Norfolk and Suffolk boarded May Flower, reached Plymouth in Massachusetts, and established a colony. During Elizabethan I, modern English was developed. Among the first colonist, there were over a hundred priests that were graduated from Oxford University and Cambridge University. They brought the Elizabethan English to North America and started American English. So then, there were two countries that speak Elizabethan English. There were not much different between these two countries’ English.
In the beginning, the Americans and British had maintained a close communication but this changed as the Americans created new type of English.
American English has several unique features:
1. American English maintains the old English’s characteristics
It was used in the 17 centuries in England. Compare to modern British English, American English is more ancient. For example, the use of “I guess”, “I think”, “I believe” and “I suppose” were no longer used in modern English. Nevertheless, there are some exceptions, such as the use of the word mad is maintained to describe anger-“he is mad about losing the chance”. These phrases and words are frequently used during Elizabethan time and yet Americans are still using it. Example of it is the use of word “fall”, which is originated from the fallofleaves. At that time, Geoffrey Chaucer already used the word “autumn” instead of “fall” while the Americans were still using it.
2. American English is full of bountiful creativity
2.1 Americans start to create new words such as pizzazz, which is used to describe people who are energetic. There are also some other words that are created by the early colonists. For instance, “bellhop”, “debunk”, “blurb”, “cahoots”, and “skyscraper”. Due to the fast improvement of technology, a series of scientific terms are also created, such as black hole, Cinerama, duplication, space walk. The word “taikonaut” is recently created to describe Chinese astronaut and distinguish from the word “astronaut”.
2.2 Freely use the words based on the antediluvian words or through the use of blending and backformation. Examples of it are the words such as “debug”, “defog”, “defrost”, “racist”. The word “smog” is originated from the words “smoke” and “fog”; “Medicare” is originated from the words “medical” and “care”; “brunch” is originated from the words “breakfast” and “lunch”.
American English frequently uses conversion, especially changing nouns to verbs. Some examples are “to engineer”, “to style”, “to resurrect”, “to holiday”, “to model”. Adjectives are also converted to nouns, such as “a depressive”, “a moderate”, “friendliness”, “hostiles”.
