英式英语和美式英语
当今美式英语逐渐流行起来，并且也已被一向高傲的英国人 ( http: / / baike. / view / 323601.htm" \t "_blank )承认是存在的，他们开始学习使用比较简单化的美式英语，连其他英联邦国家，如澳大利亚、新西兰、爱尔兰、加拿大、南非、印度等也开始学习美式英语。虽然美式英语同英式英语一样，都是标准英语，但是其在语音、词汇和语法等方面却存在着一些差异。
语音方面：
美式英语在音韵上是趋于保守的，例如：大多数情况下当代美式英语都有卷舌音（又称翘舌音），字母r在辅音前也要发音；虽然当代英式英语没有卷舌音，但在17世纪时英国各地全是这样。
词汇方面：
美式英语和英式英语虽同出一源，但在以后的发展中受到的影响不同就产生了拼写上的不同。首先，相同的词既出现在美式英语中，也出现在英式英语中，但分别表示完全不同的概念(即同词异义)，例如：billion (十亿/万亿)、biscuit(软饼/苏打饼干)、football(橄榄球/足球)、mall(购物中心/林荫大道)、overall(工装裤/紧身裤)等。
在整个现代英语的发展过程中, 美式英语和英式英语都是相互影响, 相互促进的。总的看来美式英语对英式英语的影响是主要的。今天已经很少有人讨论美式英语和英式英语孰优孰劣。可以说，它们已齐头并进，共同发挥着交际工具的作用。

美式英语
美国英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )（American English或U.S. English，又称美式英语）是在美国使用的一种英语形式。过去的四百年间，美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )、英联邦以及不列颠群岛 ( http: / / baike. / view / 347928.htm" \t "_blank )使用的语言都在不断地发生变化，最终演变成了英式英语和美式英语。两种英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )在音标、语法、词汇、拼写、标点、谚语、日期和数字的形式等等许多方面都有不同。有一小部分词在两种英语中有着完全不同的意思，有些甚至在另外一种英文中不会使用。美式英语较英式英语来说更为口语化，读音开放，有特性。
起源与特点
在北美特殊的文化、历史及社会环境里形成了若干独特的形式和含义。用现代语言学的术语来说，美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )是英语的一种变体，是近四百年来英语使用于北美 ( http: / / baike. / view / 595143.htm" \t "_blank )这个特殊的地理环境，受美国社会多元文化影响以及不断创新而形成的一种变体。
美国语言体现了美国社会特征，多样性体现多元的文化特征，俚语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 75004.htm" \t "_blank )是美国英语生动的体现
作为一个移民国家，美国一直被誉为“nation of nations”，但其主流文化仍是Anglo-Saxo文化。任何新移民，为了在新大陆 ( http: / / baike. / view / 264687.htm" \t "_blank )生活下去，不得不接受或适应这种主流文化。同时，美国人民为自己的文学和语言的独立和形成所进行的斗争，实际上是政治斗争的继续与发展。美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )的形成的过程是漫长而曲折的，第一次世界大战前后的时期是美国英语和英国英语关系的转折点（turning point），在此之前的倾向是美国英语偏离英国英语，在此之后的主要倾向是英国英语向美国英语靠拢。
多样性
如今的英语分为美国英语和英国英语。英国英语为澳大利亚，新西兰，西印度群岛，爱尔兰，南非使用，美国英语为美国和加拿大使用。
美国英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )是英国英语的一种区域语言变体，它起源于17~18世纪的英国英语。从1607年英国人在美洲 ( http: / / baike. / view / 6891.htm" \t "_blank )建立第一个殖民地———詹姆士城到1775年美国独立战争爆发为止，英国在北美地区先后建立了13个殖民地，同时英国殖民者 ( http: / / baike. / view / 415378.htm" \t "_blank )也把莎士比亚（Shakespeare）和弥尔顿（Milton）的英语带到了美洲。此时，人们通常称之为“北美 ( http: / / baike. / view / 595143.htm" \t "_blank )英语”（English in North America）或殖民地 ( http: / / baike. / view / 34807.htm" \t "_blank )英语（Colonial English）。这种古老的语言在新的环境中吸收了印第安人的土语和其他欧洲 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3622.htm" \t "_blank )移民的语言，在新大陆继续发展最终形成了一种成熟的语言混合体——美语。当然，不同的历史环境 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3821675.htm" \t "_blank )赋予它不同的名称。独立战争后，民族主义兴起，美国人把自己的语言命名为“美利坚合众国的语言”（English in the USA）或“美国创用语”（Americanism）。1806年，诺亚·韦伯斯特（Noah Webster）首创American English，这个词语就成了美国英语的固定表达形式。1828年，由韦伯斯特花费后半生心血编写的《美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语词典》，开美国英语编纂之先河，一直被后人看成是美国英语形成的重要标志，随着美国经济、政治、军事等各方面的高速发展，美国成为首屈一指的世界强国，两次世界大战的爆发更是奠定了美国在世界舞台举足轻重的地位，美国英语作为美国的一种文化输出方式，其影射力和传播范围涉及到了世界的每一个角落。但是美国英语与别的语言交流时也会受到异族语言的影响。
一般来说，语言的发展发生在语音、语法、词汇三个方面。语音、语法的变化小而慢，词汇的变化迅速。从语言学和词汇学的角度着眼，纵观美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语的发展历史，美国英语主要有以下几大特色。
对古英语特征的保留
美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语是在17世纪英格兰所用的语言，即莎士比亚、弥尔顿、班扬时期所用的语言基础上发展起来的。与现在标准的伦敦 ( http: / / baike. / view / 27242.htm" \t "_blank )英语相比，美国英语具有很大的古老性。其古老性主要表现在用词方面，它保留并复活了在英国英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2000173.htm" \t "_blank )中已经成为“废语”的许多词汇，典型的例子有:I guess，用作I think，I suppose，I believe，如I guess you are wrong.（我想你错了），这种用法在17世纪的英国广泛流行，现在不再使用，而美国英语却把它保留下来。mad用作angry讲，如:He was mad about losing the chance（丢掉这次机会他气得要命），这一用法在莎士比亚时期人们频繁地使用; railroad作railway，18世纪的英国只有木轨（wooden rails）作铁路运输时使用的词汇，19世纪时就已经被railway取代，美语却保留至今。另外还有，sick（ill），poor（lean），dry（thirsty），allow（affirm）。美国英语中还保留了许多生动形象的古老名词 ( http: / / baike. / view / 26580.htm" \t "_blank )，如:fall，意为“秋天”，来源于the fall of leaves（落叶时节），而标准英语从乔叟（Geoffrey Chaucer，约1346~1400年）就开始用“autumn”一词（来自法语）表示“秋天”，bug一词在美国英语中泛指“虫子”，而现在在英国英语中却专指“臭虫”，此词原来在英国英语中有泛指的意义，后词义缩小，美国英语保留该词的 ( http: / / baike. / view / 8596826.htm" \t "_blank )原意，用bedbug指称臭虫。Loan这个词语用作及物动词时，许多英语词典特意在它后面标注为Americanism。实际上，它的动词用法也起源于英国公元1200年前后，作“贷款；借出”。另外，有的词在标准英国英语中已不再使用，只限于英国方言 ( http: / / baike. / view / 16035.htm" \t "_blank )中，而在美国却还是通用词语，如deck（一副纸牌），drool（开玩笑），shoat（小猪，猪仔），polliwog（蝌蚪）等等。
另外，美国英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )的语音和标准的伦敦音相比，也有点老式，具有17和18世纪英国英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2000173.htm" \t "_blank )的特点。例如，美国普通话 ( http: / / baike. / view / 4591.htm" \t "_blank )中，保留有r的卷舌音 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1236235.htm" \t "_blank )，这也是莎士比亚 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2120.htm" \t "_blank )时代的英语语音 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1390257.htm" \t "_blank )特点继承下来的结果。又如，美国人把bath，fast，path等单词中的字母 ( http: / / baike. / view / 94782.htm" \t "_blank )a的扁平音保留，而英国却远在18世纪末在英格兰南部就废除了这种发音。
丰富的创造性
创造一些原本根本不存在的新词，如，一种具有刺激性吸引力的人开始被人们称之为pizzazz（时髦派头的人）。早期的殖民者 ( http: / / baike. / view / 415378.htm" \t "_blank )创造的词汇也不少，如bellhop（俱乐部男侍），debunk（揭露真相），blurb（说明），cahoots（共谋），skyscraper（摩天大楼）。由于科技的发展，一系列科学理论词汇也相继诞生，如black hole（黑洞），cinerama（全景电影），duplication（录像机），space walk（太空行走）。最近，中国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 61891.htm" \t "_blank )太空人的出现也使美语又有了一个新词，taikonaut（太空人）以示区别astronaut（宇航员）。
在旧词的基础上，自由地运用词缀 ( http: / / baike. / view / 338587.htm" \t "_blank )，或者运用拼缀法（blending）和逆生法（backformation）来创造新词。如debug（寻找并除去导致错误的原因），defog（除雾），defrost（除霜），racist（种族主义者），smog（烟雾）来自于smoke（烟）和fog（雾），medicare（医疗照顾）是由medical和care混合而成的，brunch（早午餐 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2188345.htm" \t "_blank )）是由breakfast和lunch的混合体。
美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )英语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1458.htm" \t "_blank )频繁地运用转类法（conversion），尤其是从名词转化为动词，如to engineer（设计），to style（命名），to resurrect（使复活），to holiday（度假），to model（当模特）等，形容词 ( http: / / baike. / view / 84346.htm" \t "_blank )转化为名词也常出现，如a depressive（沮丧的人），a mod erate（温和派），friendlies（友好的人），hostiles（敌人）

英式英语
英国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3565.htm" \t "_blank )英语（British English; BrE），又称英式英语，主要是指居住在不列颠群岛上的英格兰(England)人的英语规则，为英国本土及英联邦国家的官方语言。 英式英语并非为所有不列颠人认同。在某些非英格兰地区，特别是苏格兰 ( http: / / baike. / view / 36470.htm" \t "_blank )、威尔士与爱尔兰，主张不同方言之共存。他们认为强行统一英语等于无理羞辱。然而，对于英格兰人而言，他们不过将方言 ( http: / / baike. / view / 16035.htm" \t "_blank )的进化看得太严肃。英式英语也是英格兰人高贵优雅的象征，以其板正清晰的发音特色受到了很多英语学习者的喜爱。
发展
历史上，英语之所以世界通行，全都是因为大英帝国的势力，且最有代表影响力的英国英语(RP，Received Pronunciation，较常译为：被一般大众所接受的发音。受过教育的非方言 ( http: / / baike. / view / 16035.htm" \t "_blank )英语，在英国主要的大学城：牛津、剑桥 ( http: / / baike. / view / 38338.htm" \t "_blank )流行，是各寄宿学校教育用英语和电台、电视播音 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1374934.htm" \t "_blank )用英语)，又称"英国腔"，但仍然有许多国家却不这么认为(特别是美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )) 。
从二十世纪中叶至今，英语的发扬光大，是因为美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )在世界上占领经济、军事与政治的优势，世界也认为美国英语是目前最重要的语言。特别是许多美国文化 ( http: / / baike. / view / 591610.htm" \t "_blank )产品 (例如：电影、 书籍、 音乐) 活跃在全世界，大量取代了其他英语系国家的产品。
英国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3565.htm" \t "_blank )英语仍然是许多英联邦国家的官方语言，包括澳大利亚、南非 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2535.htm" \t "_blank )以及印度，在欧盟里也一样。英国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3565.htm" \t "_blank )英语在前英国殖民地香港、新加坡 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3593.htm" \t "_blank )也继续使用。
分类
在不列颠群岛上，英语主要可分为下列的类别：
英格兰 ( http: / / baike. / view / 58688.htm" \t "_blank )英语—英格兰的主要语言，方言比较复杂，主要有北方方言、南方方言和伦敦土语。
苏格兰英语—受苏格兰语影响的方言
威尔士英语—受威尔士语影响的方言。
中欧斯特英语与希伯诺英语 (即爱尔兰英语)—受爱尔兰语 ( http: / / baike. / view / 350444.htm" \t "_blank )影响的方言。 (爱尔兰人基本都会说的语言, 特别在爱尔兰共和国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 51650.htm" \t "_blank )，大多数的人认为有别于英国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3565.htm" \t "_blank )英语。)
对手
一直以来，英国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 3565.htm" \t "_blank )人瞧不起其他英语变体，认为其英式英语才是正宗英语。但第一次世界大战之后，美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )国力大增，美式英语开始成为英式英语的竞争对手 ( http: / / baike. / view / 867354.htm" \t "_blank )。特别是第二次世界大战以后，美国 ( http: / / baike. / view / 2398.htm" \t "_blank )的大众传播媒介迅速发展，美式英语对英式英语产生了重大冲击，尤其是美音和美词在英式英语的发音和拼写中的影响有增无减。其实在整个现代英语的发展过程中，美式英语与英式英语是相互影响，相互促进的，但总的看来现今前者对后者的影响是主要的。
一些学者预言英式英语与美式英语的差异将会越来越大；他们担忧未来英美人士之间很可能听不懂对方的英语。其实这种担忧是多余的，因为这两大英语变体的基本要素几乎是相同的，它们维护着英语的共核(common core)。正如中国知名学者周海中 ( http: / / baike. / view / 1224880.htm" \t "_blank )教授曾经指出的那样：虽然美式英语与英式英语在语音、词汇和语法等方面存在着一些差异，但由于它们的相同之处远远大于不同之处，所以不会影响英语表达的规范性；因此，这些差异不会妨碍美英人士彼此交际和交流思想。
