B. Употребление прилагательных, обозначающих национальность.
Некоторые имена прилагательные в английском языке могут выступать в функции существительных. В этом случае они приобретают признаки существительных: способность иметь единственное и множественное число, принимать определенный и неопределенный артикль, употребляться в притяжательном падеже, а также иметь при себе определения.
Английские прилагательные, обозначающие национальность и оканчивающиеся на -an, -ian, могут употребляться как прилагательные и как существительные. При употреблении в значении существительных они приобретают признаки существительных. Например, a Russian book; a Russian; several Russians; the Russians; that Russian’s report.
В качестве предикатива для обозначения национальности, как правило, употребляются прилагательные; существительные употребляются реже: She is not English, she is Russian. She is not an English woman, she is a Russian.
Прилагательные, обозначающие национальность, оканчивающиеся на -ese и –ss, выступая в функции существительных, могут употребляться с неопределенным артиклем для обозначения отдельного лица данной нации (a Japanese) и с определенным артиклем – для обозначения нации в целом (the Japanese). Однако эти существительные не имеют ни окончания множественного числа -s, ни окончания притяжательного падежа: several Japanese, that Japanese' daughter.
Прилагательные, обозначающие национальность, оканчивающиеся на -ish и –ch, выступая в функции существительных, всегда употребляются с определенным артиклем, имеют значение только множественного числа, но не принимают окончания –s. Они употребляются для обозначения данной нации в целом: the English.
Для обозначения отдельных представителей данной нации употребляются сложные существительные, образованные от прилагательных с существительным man, woman, men, women: an Englishman, an Englishwoman, two Englishmen.
