quantitatively and qualitatively. To verify the hypothesis, the dynamics and
specificity of core vocabulary evolutionary processes were investigated and
juxtaposed with those of the entire lexicon evolution.
The method applied consisted in: 1) the selection of derivatives of core
vocabulary, including semantic derivatives, idioms and phrases with core words
as components in all native varieties of English – American, Canadian, New
Zealand, Australian and South African – out of regional dictionaries of English
[AND, 1988; COD, 2001; DSAE, 1996; NZD, 1994; Webster’s, 1961]; 2)
structural, semantic and functional analysis of the selected lexical items; 3) the
examination of the available data concerning the entire English lexicon
evolution in native varieties as well as specific extralinguistic features of their
evolution provided in the following literature [Skybina, 2006; Turner, 1972]; 4)
the correlative analysis of the direction of core vocabulary change in English
varieties and specificity of altered reality of the English language evolution. The
results demonstrated instant correlation among the evolutionary processes in
core vocabulary and the entire lexicon which correspond to those of
extralinguistic character. It proved the idea that core vocabulary is actively
incorporated in all adaptive processes of the language system including those
accompanying dissemination of English world-wide.
