1.1 Literature review
相比，英式英语和美式英语之间的异同，在发音，拼写，词的选择，风格，语用学，英语和美式英语之间的语法异同不是那么显眼，众多。更重要的是，它是最令人困惑的扬声器遇到一个文本中的其他的品种（Algeo，2017年）组成的一个品种。不过，由于当前的语言学方面作为一个语言系统的核心语法。支付待遇麦克罗英式英语和美式英语之间的异同已经从词汇EMS的语法用法。许多语言学家纷纷涉足这一领域。约翰Algeo BR E和AMê语法之间的异同做了一个实验探讨，并把他的发现在英国英语和美国英语语法的区别。双方雷蒙德·墨菲的书使用英语语法和夸克是一个综合的英语语法提到英式英语和美式英语的语法区别。此外，剑桥英语语法作为一个世界性的语法书也涉及这一领域。其实，英语论文，语法英语和美式英语之间的异同是不是语法书应该是负责的一般规则。所以语法书不能记录他们以适当的方式，而词典，语法书作为补充，可以弥补它。英语词典编纂越来越重视国家的品种（Algeo，2017年）之间的异同。由于词典编纂的工作是以上所有一个描述性的活动，记录的使用，而不是铺设上下角度或多种规则的话应该如何使用它的话要避免，我们可以只找到一些散射线索的语法异同英语和美式英语之间在字典。至于语法的异同是否在词典中被引入具体与否，他们是如何提出，如果有任何其他更好的示范方式，我们将研讨在这篇论文等问题。Compared with the differences between BrE and AmE in pronunciation, spelling,word choice, style, pragmatics, the grammatical difference between BrE and AmE is notthat conspicuous and numerous. What's more, it is the least confusing to speakers of onevariety encountering a text composed in the other variety (Algeo, 2017). Nevertheless,since current linguistics regards grammar as the core of a language system. Theattention paid to the differences between BrE and AmE has extended from lexical itemsto the grammatical usage. Many of linguists have set foot in this domain. John Algeohas done an experimental research on the grammatical differences between BrE andAmE and put his finding in Grammatical Difference between British English andAmerican English. Both Raymond Murphy's book English Grammar in Use andQuirk's A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language have mentioned thegrammatical difference between BrE and AmE. Besides, Cambridge Grammar ofEnglish as a worldwide grammar book has also covered this field. Actually, grammaticaldifferences between BrE and AmE are not in general rules of which grammar books aresupposed to be in charge. So grammar books cannot record them in a proper way whiledictionaries, as a complement to the grammar book, can make up for it. Englishlexicography is increasingly paying attention to the differences between nationalvarieties (Algeo, 2017). Since lexicographer's work is above all a descriptive activity,recording usage rather than laying down perspective or numerous rules about howwords should be used or which words are to be avoided, we can only find somescattering clues to the grammatical differences between BrE and AmE in dictionaries.As for such questions as whether grammatical differences have been introduced indictionaries specifically or not, how they are presented and if there are any other betterdemonstration ways, we will explore in this thesis.
1.2 Theoretical framework
1.2.1 Language and varieties
The formation of language varieties results from the passage of time. 1500 yearsago, with the settlement of Anglo-Saxons in Britain, many tribes in this area spoke alittle different varieties of continental language. However, at this time, the differenceswere rather minor. Anyway, the change of language was inevitable since there weredifferences. New words, pronunciations and grammatical forms started to enter theirspeech while the old ones began to be out of use.During several centuries, the homogeneous spoken English by settlers had brokeninto regional varieties that are quite different from each other. That is to say, every localgroup of people used the English different from their neighbors. They used variousgrammatical endings and constructions. In one word, English developed into theso-called regional ，英语论文
