  • The past tense and the past participle verb forms in British English and American English [Elektronski vir] = Glagolske oblike v pretekliku in pretekli deležniki v britanski angleščini in ameriški angleščini : diplomsko delo
    Meh, Žiga, 1987-
    Quite a lot of people might think that English spoken in Great Britain is the same as English spoken in the United States of America, but that is not correct. English that is spoken in Great Britain ... is called British English and English spoken in the United States of America is called American English. These two variations differ in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, idioms, etc. In my paper I focus on verbs that have a regular (-ed) and an irregular (-t) form for the past tense and the past participle. The purpose of this diploma paper is to discover which form is used more in British English and in American English. There are a couple of reasons which form prevails in certain situations. One form is used more in events with a durative implication, other form is used more for punctual events. The same can be said when it comes to speech and writing or using the passive voice. I achieve these results with examining two corpora and I also analyse how the two forms developed in the nineteenth and the twentieth century in Google Books. The results show that the irregular form is used more in British English than in American English.
