Why Is Canadian English Unique？

Is there such a thing as Canadian English？If so，what is it？

The standard stereotype （刻板印象） among Americans is that Canadians are like Americans，except that they say "eh" a lot and pronounce "out and about" as "oot and aboot." Many Canadians，will tell you that Canadian English is more like British English，and proof holds that the spellings "colour" and "centre" and the name "zed" for the letter Z.

Canadian does exist as a separate variety of English，with subtly （细微地） distinctive features of pronunciation and vocabulary.It has its own dictionaries，the core of Canadian English is ambivalence （矛盾）.

Canadian history helps to explain this.In the beginning，there were the indigenous peoples （原住民），with far more linguistic （语言的），the French colonized the St.Lawrence River region and the Atlantic coast south of it.In the mid﹣1700s，England got into a war with France，which ceded （割让） "New France" to England.The English allowed any French to stay who were willing to become subjects （臣民）

At the time of the Treaty of Paris，however，there were very few English speakers in Canada.The American Revolution（革命）（逃离） American independence and were rewarded with land in Canada.As a result，Canadian English was，both American — because its speakers had come from the American colonies — and not American，because they rejected the newly independent nation.

Just as the Americans sought to have a truly distinct，independent American version of English，the loyalists sought to remain more like England.These were people whose variety of English was already different from the British and vice versa.When the residents of London began to drop their r's and change some of their vowels （元音），but Canadians did not.

There did end up being more British influx （大量涌入） and influence in Canada.After the War of 1812，Mother England encouraged emigration to Canada to ensure the loyalty to England.The accent did not become British

Today，one﹣fifth of Canadians have a mother tongue other than English or French — nearly as many as have French as their mother tongue.And yet the basic character of Canadian English still appears like a household of Anglophile （亲英派） Americans，a few traces of the indigenous cultures who used to be the only residents，and some influence from the French roommate.

（1）What do many Canadians consider Canadian English？

A．It is more like American English.

B．It is more like British English.

C．It is pronounced like American English.

D．It is spelled like American English.

（2）Why do Canadian exist as a separate variety of English？

A．It has its own dictionaries.

B．It has no feature.

C．It has a separate vocabulary.

D．The Canadian has a long history.

（3）Which is NOT one of the influences on Canadian English？

A．The colonization of France.

B．The independence of America.

C．A variety of indigenous cultures.

D．The Canadian civil war.

（4）Which is NOT one of the core of unique Canadian English？

A．Canadian English was，from its very beginning，both American and not American.

B．Its speakers had come from the American colonies and they rejected the newly independent nation.

C．The French once colonized Canada，thus influencing the language.

D．The loyalists sought to remain more like England，but Canadian English became a combination of independent American and Mother British.
