African-American English

Authors

More about the book

Focusing on African-American English (AAE), this essay explores its role as a dialect among Black Americans rather than an independent language. It highlights that the majority of AAE speakers use African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), while noting the existence of semi-creole varieties like Gullah in specific regions. The paper examines the development of AAE, its key linguistic features, and concludes with a discussion on contemporary issues relating to AAE and Afro-American culture within U.S. society.
