Australian English is losing its unique characteristics to Americanisms and is gradually dying. With it, much of our distinctive Australian identity is also being lost.
Do you agree?
Well I haven't done any english language these holidays, mainly been sticking to science and maths :P
Was given this topic for holiday homework and honestly, I can't think of much but at the same time I KNOW there is plenty to talk about
(This part I can cover easily I hope) Australian English & Unique characteristics:
Accent/pronunciation, slang, jargon, colloquialisms, swearing, spelling, word choice
Americanisms:
Words such as dude, homie, guy, like, chick
Australian Identity:
What do they mean by australian identity? Is it refering to what people from other parts of the world see as Australian?
