Abstract

This research is devoted to the study of the status of Euro-English - a variety of English spoken in European institutions and continental Europe. Its emergence and development occur under the conditions of multilingualism and is associated with the need to have a common language for all European citizens to ensure intercultural and inter-ethnic communication. The authors reflect on the similarities and differences between British English and European English in their status, processes, vocabulary and grammar.
