Abstract

The present investigation is devoted to the study of Dialects and Variants of the

English Language.

The work consists of the introduction, two parts, conclusions, list of the

references and appendix. In the first part of the theoretical survey we gave a brief

outlook on the history of the English language in the XVI-XXI centuries,

characterized variability of the English language and studied the history of the

development of the dialects of the English language. Within the second (practical)

part of the investigation we outlined the main phonetical, grammatical and lexical

peculiarities of the Irish English and Indian English. Phonetical peculiarities of

territorial and social dialects of the English language are analyzed as well.
