摘要
澳大利亚独特丰富的词汇包含着大量澳大利亚当地土著语,及由移民、囚犯制度带来的特殊用语,而19世纪的淘金浪潮和当代大量移民也给澳大利亚英语词汇注入新鲜血液。本文主要论述澳大利亚英语词汇的特点及其所折射出来的澳大利亚历史。
Australian English vocabulary is rich both in aboriginal language and words assuming new meanings by the early immigrants and prisoners. With the Gold Rush in the nineteenth century and the flood of new immigrants at the same period, Australian English vocabulary is not only greatly enlarged but also localized. This paper mainly discusses the above characteristics of Australian English vocabulary and the Australian history as reflected in it.
