PHRASEOLOGISMS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH IN THE WORLD’S LANGUAGE SPACE

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the role and place of American English in the world. American English has taken a leading place in the world, but its development is very specific, because on the one hand it is leading and at the same time integrated into the world community. Anthropocentrism is present when describing the general trends in the creation of American idioms of the English language. All processes are characterized by human worldview and human problems. The areas of creation of American phraseological units of the English language are ecology, architecture, IT technologies, leisure. During the study of phraseological units of the American English language, the inductive (when describing the American English language) and the deductive method (when predicting the development of the American English language) were used. Telescopy, new phraseology, and word formation are used in the word formation of modern phraseological units of the American English language. In general, analyzing the phraseology of the American English language, new phraseology (word combinations) are mostly used in their creation. However, among the phraseological units of the American English language, you can find affixation, abbreviation, and reduction. The modeling method helped predict the directions of development of American English phraseology.
