No Customer Reviews
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. African American English is an African American variety of American English. Non-linguists sometimes call it Ebonics (a term that also has other meanings or strong connotations) or jive or jive-talk. Its pronunciation is, in some respects, common to Southern American English, which is spoken by many African Americans and many non-African Americans in the United States. This book explores the history and linguistics of African American English. You will also find information about related works of literature and authentic portrayals of this dialect in film.
