British English
20 Октября 2013 в 19:30, реферат
British English (or BrEn, BrE, BE, en-UK or en-GB) is the broad term used to distinguish the forms of the English language used in the United Kingdom from forms used elsewhere. The Oxford English Dictionary applies the term to English "as spoken or written in the British Isles; especially the forms of English usual in Great Britain", reserving "Hiberno-English" for the "English language as spoken and written in Ireland". Nevertheless, Hiberno-English forms part of the broad British English continuum. Others, such as the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary, define it as the "English language as it spoken and written in England." There are slight regional variations in formal written English in the United Kingdom.

16 Июня 2015 в 23:54, реферат
The elections for members of Parliament in the autumn of 1774, satisfied the ministry that they were strong in the affections of the people. The king was jubilant because of the result, and the government was not in a frame of mind to receive with complacency the state-papers put forth by the Continental Congress, especially the petition to the king. In September Gage had written to Dartmouth a truthful statement of the condition of affairs in the colonies, and especially in Massachusetts. It was a letter that gave that minister great concern.

Some of them are old-fashioned and many people remember them, others are part of people’s life.

British slang and its classification
13 Апреля 2013 в 16:35, реферат
The understanding of the native speakers' language is the international problem for our people. Our secondary schools teach the students only the bases of the English language. Our universities do not prepare them to the British streets, accommodations, pubs where people use their own language, the language that differs from that of their parents. They use other words- they use slang. None of the most advanced and flexible ways of teaching English of any country can catch modern quickly developing English.
Communicative behavior of the British
18 Декабря 2013 в 11:20, доклад
Since World War II, Britain has become increasingly diverse as it has accommodated large immigrant populations, particularly from its former colonies such as India, Pakistan and the West Indies. The mixture of ethnic groups and cultures make it difficult to define “Britishness” nowadays.
The terms 'English' and 'British' do not mean the same thing. 'British' denotes someone who is from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. 'English' refers to people from England. People from Scotland are 'Scots', from Wales ‘Welsh’ and from Northern Ireland ‘Irish’. Be sure not to call someone Welsh, Scots, or Northern Irish ‘English’.
British English versus American English
28 Октября 2013 в 10:45, реферат
A long time ago, I flew with my husband and two babies from Texas to London, in Great Britain. We flew at night so that our two babies would sleep and we could rest. But as it turned out, the babies cried the entire 11 hours, so we walked the Atlantic Ocean, my husband marching up and down one aisle, carrying the 17-month-old, while I staggered up and down the other aisle with the 6-month-old sprout. Both infants had colds, so I had asked the pediatrician for medication that would help them breathe better. He had prescribed a cherry-flavored, liquid medicine that I hope none of my gentle readers will make the mistake of giving to their innocents.
Modernism in British and American Literature
20 Января 2014 в 19:37, реферат
In the world of art, generally speaking, Modernism was the beginning of the distinction between “high” art and “low” art. The educational reforms of the Victorian Age had led to a rapid increase in literacy rates, and therefore a greater demand for literature or all sorts. A popular press quickly developed to supply that demand. The sophisticated literati looked upon this new popular literature with scorn. Writers who refused to bow to the popular tastes found themselves in a state of alienation from the mainstream of society.
Russia through the prism of British mentality
13 Июня 2013 в 20:46, реферат
Karen Hewitt wrote a nice book for Russian readers, which must help them to understand behavior and national features of Englishman’s. In a course of narration she constantly compares English and Russians characteristics. From my point of view sometimes assessments that she give to Russians are not quite fair. I believe that in this book Russia described through the prism of British mentality. Let’s try to revise some of them and look on them in a little other side.
For the beginning let’s start with third part and chapter two, topic about divorce. Karen Hewitt starting with the example of Russians woman words: “There are too few educated man around and too many alcoholics!”
Differences between British English and American English
10 Июня 2013 в 23:42, реферат
In the early part of the seventeenth century English settlers began to bring their language to America, and another series of changes began to take place. The settlers borrowed words from Indian languages for such strange trees as the hickory and persimmon, such unfamiliar animals as raccoons and woodchucks. Later they borrowed other words from settlers from other countries - for instance, chowder and prairie from the French, scow and sleigh from the Dutch.
Religion: Its Past and Present; Its Role in British Society
13 Марта 2014 в 09:27, курсовая работа
We know that one of the most significant differences between man and other living beings is the moral and the socio-moral aspect of man’s existence. Man is not merely a physical being. On the contrary, man has a strong moral aspect to his existence. This moral and socio-moral aspect of man’s existence is the foundation on which the legal and social structures that we see in all the societies have evolved overtime. It is in fact the acceptance, appreciation and realization of mutual rights and responsibilities, which has resulted in the strong bonds of family, friendship, tribe and society. So it’s religion that supports social norms, provides social integration, social control, legitimating of social values, social solidarity, social conformity, interpretation of important life cycles in society and life events, informs legal systems.
Peculiarities of american and british slang: Slang and the Dictionary
31 Мая 2015 в 21:06, диссертация
Slang consists of the words and expressions that have escaped from the cant, jargon and argot (and to a lesser extent from dialectal, nonstandard, and taboo speech) of specific subgroups of society so that they are known and used by an appreciable percentage of the general population, even though the words and expressions often retain some associations with the subgroups that originally used and popularized them. Thus, slang is a middle ground for words and expressions that have become too popular to be any longer considered as part of the more restricted categories, but that are not yet (and may never become) acceptable or popular enough to be considered informal or standard. (Compare the slang "hooker" and the standard "prostitute.")
Защита информации в компании «British Petrolium»
21 Мая 2013 в 18:39, курсовая работа
Целью курсового проекта является рассмотрение возможных мер защиты информации в автоматизированных информационных системах.
Работа состоит из двух частей. В первой приведена общая теория защиты информации, оценки рисков и т.д. Вторая часть рассматривает защиту информации на примере компании «British Petrolium».
Защита информации на каком-либо объекте это комплекс самых разнообразных мер, которые очень тесно связаны между собой. Каждая из них очень важна, потому что прочность цепи, как известно, равна прочности самого слабого ее звена. Поэтому бесполезно уделять все внимание и деньги какому-либо одному аспекту защиты. С другой стороны, разработка действительно защиты с учетом всех необходимых мера сейчас невозможна по следующим причинам:
