THE ANALYSIS OF SPECIALISED ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL TERMINOLOGY IN BRITISH AND AMERICAN ENGLISH; DICTIONARY OF SPECIAL TERMS

Abstract

This work discusses the analysis of differences in the technical terminology of British (Br) and American English (Am) in the fields of accounting and finance. The work is divided into four parts in which the analysis is described in more detail. The first chapter describes the differences between both Am and Br English as seen in everyday life, as well as determines the objectives of the work. The second chapter describes the theoretical background of the matter, namely the analysis of the literature of the field. The analysis focuses on the content of both issues. After the analysis, the most widely used terms on accounting and finance are introduced in the chapter. The most frequent terms of both issues are selected and analysed there. The last chapter provides general differences in spelling between British and American English. In conclusion of this work there is a dictionary of special terms.
