The general peculiarities of American English (Morphology).
There are a number of differences in morphology between American English and British English.
Let's consider the concept of morpheme to determine the general features of the morphology of the American English language. A morpheme is the smallest linguistic unit that performs the function of inflection or word formation.
There is also another important concept within the framework of this topic – allomorph. Allomorph is a type of morpheme that can not change its meaning with different pronunciation. In English, there are a number of words that have different allomorphs in different versions of the language. For example:
British English American English
got gotten
struck stricken
dived dove
One of the common features of morphology in American English can be distinguished from nouns: in this version of the language, a suffix (-s) is added to the substantive basis to create a plural noun. Example: Hotel accommodations include the main room, a bathroom and toilet.
The synthetic form of the subjunctive mood finds a wide scope of application in American English. This form occurs mainly in additional subordinate clauses, in cases where the verb-predicate of the main sentence expresses a wish, requirement, order or sentence. For example: They ignored the mate insisting that he not be in on discussions. The synthetic form is also found in predicative subordinate clauses, where the subject of the main sentence is a noun formed from the verbs to suggest, to recommend, to require. For example: When AEC was asked for recommendations on renewing the license, the recommendation was that it be renewed only on condition it be checked periodically.
