EBONICS
DIALECT
African American Vernacular English (AAVE), also called African American
English, Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular
(BEV), is a type variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of the American
English language. It is known colloquially as Ebonics (a portmanteau of
"ebony" and "phonics"). With pronunciation that in some respects is common
to Southern American English, the variety is spoken by many blacks in the
United States. AAVE shares many characteristics with various Creole English
dialects spoken by blacks in much of the world. AAVE also has pronunciation,
grammatical structures, and vocabulary in common with various West African
languages. Ebonics is not merely just the use of urban or "slang" words, but
rather it is the manipulation and transformation of the English language
(ie, In the sentence "I want to have sex with a chickenhead", a slang word
is used, but the speaker is not using ebonics.).
