Isi artikel

The article deals with the linguistic points of variation problems, the comments of various linguists dealing with the phenomenon of variation. It also deals with the formation of the realization of intra- and extra linguistic reasons of language units in speech acts in variants. The article states the separated stage of American English from the British English as an independent language as well. The differences between the investigated variants in all levels of the language have also been investigated in the article. But these differences are mostly observed in syntagmatic realization of phonological system. The materials selected from the English sources due to the pronunciation of the speakers of American and British variants have been drawn to the auditor and acoustic analyses. The language material has been experimented through the Praat program. The generalizations and points of the results in the very article are based on the experimented materials. Most linguists claim that the American variant of the English language has been separated from the British variant of the English language and is used as an independent language. The separation between the variants of American and English languages is observed in the morphological, lexical, and phonological levels of the language. But the differences between the variants are mostly observed on the phonological levels of the phonetic realization.
