Introduction
We understand the variant of literary language as a territorial version

of the unified norm of the literary language.
The variant of the national language is the set of territorially limited variant of the literary language and territorial dialects operating within its area.

Слайд 3

The English language
is the most widely-spread language in the world. It

is the official language of Great Britain, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and some countries of Africa.
Also English is one of two official languages of Ireland, Canada and Malta, and it is used by population of some states of Asia (India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Philippines, etc.).

Слайд 4

Australian English
Australian English appeared in the result of colonization of Australia

by the English people in the 18th century.
About third of population of Australia speaks on a "wide", strongly pronounced dialect (Broad Australian), hardly more than half of population uses «standard» Australian (General Australian), and approximately the tenth part speaks on «graceful» Australian (Cultivated Australian).

Слайд 5

Spelling
The Australian English spelling almost completely corresponds to the British English

one. They use such variants of spelling, as -re (centre), -our (harbour), -ll- (travelling), -ise/ize (recognise/recognize).
But few words are spelled
in the American variant,
for example:
program, labor, etc.

Слайд 6

Grammar
There are some differences
in the category of number:

Data is ready for processing.
The verb shall is used only in imperative and interrogative forms: Shall we go? You shall do that!
The verb would has replaced should:
What for would I do that?
The words whilst, amongst are still used.
The both forms are used in the same meaning:
around / round (=approximately)
disinterested / uninterested
flammable / inflammable

Слайд 7

Phonetics
The ways of development of the Australian English phonetics were

determined by:
Cockney and Irish English.
The Australian pronunciation can be illustrated by these phrases:
- Knife a samich? (Can I have a sandwich?)
- I’ll gechawun inn a sec. (I’ll get you one in a sec.)
- Emma chisit? (How much is it?)
- Attlebee aitninee. (That’ll be eight ninety.)

Lexis
In Australian English there are its own idioms and words:
Down under

(Australia and New Zealand)
sheila (a woman)
bloke (a man)
fair dinkum (something original)
china plate (a good friend)
shark (Noah's ark)
doco (documentation)
footie (football)
smoko (a smoke break)
aussie (Australians)
shonky (illegal)

Слайд 9

Lexis
past the black stump (a not populated, wild district without any

signs of civilization)

He wouldn't shout if a shark bit him (about a very stingy person)
boomerang (something that is necessarily to return)
bush telegraph (Rus cарафанное радио)
station (a cattle-breeding farm)
bush (forest, countryside)
to tie up (to tie an animal to a tree)
In Australia they call an American seppo, an Englishman – pommy, pommie or pom.

Слайд 10

Northern Ireland English
English pronunciation standards in Northern Ireland and in the

Republic of Eire are different.
Nowadays native speakers of Irish are few in number and are соnfined to rural areas еvеn though Irish is the official language of Ireland and is taught in schools.
English here is not homogeneous. Areas of the far north are heavily Scots-influenced.
