The Influences on Australian English: A Lexical Perspective 2002 (English)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Student thesis

Abstract [en]

The Australian English has developed into a unique and distinct variety of the English language. A few words were borrowed from the Aboriginal languages, especially when the British settlers arrived in Australia. The major influence on the AusE comes from the United States, even though the BrE still has some prominence on the language. The empirical findings are based on the corpora Bank of English.
