i can't believe your *** is preaching like you know something. don't tell me to get an education, i was a linguistics minor. and for your information, (and i'm sure you didn't know this being as willingly ignorant as you are) you should tell these fools to go get an education right ?

Why "Ebonics" is a language:

A language is a coherent system of signs - a grammar of elements and rules - which is used in a regular way for purposes of communication, and also for social symbolic purposes (such as making clear to listeners a speaker's identity, how they feel about themselves and others, and how they perceive a situation). African American Vernacular English, or AAVE - which is sometimes called "Ebonics", but not usually by linguists - does all these things and more, in ways just like other languages do.

So, it's a language.



Why AAVE [="Ebonics"] isn't a separate language, but a dialect of English:

Most of the time when people question whether AAVE is a language, they mean, Is it a separate system from English? in the way that German, Chinese, or Jamaican Creole are separate systems. In this sense, a dialect is a complete system that overlaps to a great degree with some other, super-system. Thus Bavarian German is a dialect of German-in-general (but it's not a dialect of Swiss German); London English is a dialect of English, and U.S.A. "Broadcast Standard" English is also a dialect of English.

AAVE, too, is an English dialect. Most of its components in the dimensions of grammar, lexicon, and pronunciation are widely shared with English - either with standard American English, or with Southern White English, or with vernacular dialects of English around the world. So it's not as separate as German, Chinese or Jamaican Creole, which all have very different grammars and lexicons, and which are all unintelligible to monolingual speakers of American Englishes. On the other hand, AAVE does have its own distinctive features and functions. It can be spoken badly, or imitated inaccurately, by whites (or blacks) unfamiliar with its rules; and it symbolizes community and cultural values for its speakers that no other dialect of English in the world can convey.



Is AAVE [="Ebonics"] slang?

Ebonics is not slang. Slang refers to a relatively small set of vocabulary items which are ephemeral - they gain and lose currency rapidly, go in and out of style. Slang does not have a grammar or rules of pronunciation; it is not a dialect or a language. Like other terms which have technical definitions for linguists (such as "dialect", "patois" and "pidgin"), "slang" is often used by non-linguists - not in the way I have just described, but rather to mean "a way of talking that I personally look down on".

In the future, please don't make yourself look so terribly stupid by not even having half an idea of what you're talking about.

If you were to walk into any well educated setting spouting that **** you would get laughed at and kicked the **** out.

Some LIBERAL professor from a school in the UK (which is not even an accredited institution Genius) writes an article (based on his PERSONAL OPINION) & all of the sudden we are all to believe here in the United States that, "Ebonics is not only a dialect - its a language"! This fine little institution didn't even award its first BA degree until 1967. They have apparently expanded and now offer, a College of Business as long ago as, 2005? Oooo! 2005! Face it. Ebonics is NOT a language nor is it a "dialect" (even if that Joe liberal teacher from ther UK "thinks" it is per his little article). According to this rocket scientist, Slavery is a major reason why others don't formally recognize "Ebonics". OMG, talk about disjointed logic - this guy can write the book! Heck, he's up there with Jessie Jackson wanting reparations from the US taxpayer for slavery that ended over 140 yrs ago. What a bunch of utter nonsensical gibberish. AND....if anyone thinks "slappin' my biatch hoes after cappin' the bad bros" is a language, then THAT is messed up. Try getting a job speaking in that English "vernacular" What a bunch of blather. It is what it is. Nonsensical BLATHER (which in many cases is demeaning toward woman & promotes violance).

2) You better go back and MAJOR in linguistics because you can't punctuate better than my dog.

3) I've spoken at 2 State Universities as a Guest Speaker (in both cases for Purchasing & Materials Management/APICS undergrads at both institutions). I believe YOU are the clown that would get laughed at trying to communicate in "Ebonics".

4) If I hate rap, I hate rap. Period. Anyone on this forum that doesn't like the fact I hate rap can kiss my back side. Its a personal opinion. Its not RACIST. Someone is "Racist" for posting they hate rap & a little "emoticon" of gansta car & I'm a racist What a bunch of WHINING BABIES. Some of my best friends & co-workers are African American, Asian, and Indian. Racist? What a bunch of Morons.
