Презентация на тему Black American english

A FORM OF ENGLISH THAT IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM

STANDARD ENGLISH.
EVERY LANGUAGE SYSTEM CONTAINS RULES.
THE RULES OF BLACK AMERICAN ENGLISH [BE] ARE FUNCTIONAL TO THOSE WHO USE THEM.
THESE RULES ARE SYSTEMATIC AND ARE APPLIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
MORE RECENTLY, BLACK ENGLISH HAS BEEN REFERRED TO AS ENGLISH USED IN A “CASUAL REGISTER.” (Payne)

OF BLACK AMERICA.
CAUTION: NOT ALL 36 MILLION AFRICAN AMERICANS

CHOOSE TO SPEAK BLACK ENGLISH, ESPECIALLY THE EDUCATED MIDDLE AND UPPER INCOME BLACKS.
BLACK ENGLISH HAS BEEN CALLED:
NONSTANDARD BLACK DIALECT
BLACK ENGLISH VERNACULAR [BEV]
AFRICAN AMERICAN ENGLISH [AAE]
AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULAR ENGLISH [AAVE]
EBONICS [USEB]
BLACK COMMUNICATIONS [BC]
BLACK POVERTY LANGUAGE
CASUAL REGISTER ENGLISH
RAP

FUNCTIONAL FORM OF COMMUNICATION THAT EVOLVED FROM THE CREOLIZATION

OF PLANTATION ENGLISH AND THE TRANSPORTED LANGUAGES SPOKEN BY ENSLAVED AFRICANS.

BLACK ENGLISH REPRESENTS A CROSS-FERTILIZATION OF LANGUAGES NURTURED AND PASSED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT IN AN ORAL AND AURAL TRADITIONAL CLIMATE, SINCE LAWS [BLACK CODES] MANDATED THAT ANY PERSON CAUGHT TEACHING A SLAVE TO READ OR WRITE COULD BE FINED AND PUT IN JAIL.

TEACHERS WHO USE A PHONICS APPROACH TO TEACH READING SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE REPERTOIRE OF SOUNDS IN BLACK ENGLISH.
KENNETH R. JOHNSON, WALT WOLFMAN, BARATZ, AND OTHERS HAVE PRESENTED SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS, PHONOLOGICAL AND GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURES, AND FEATURES OF BLACK ENGLISH. HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR RESEARCH FINDINGS:

LARGE REPERTOIRE OF SLANG WORDS UNCOMMON TO STANDARD ENGLISH.

MOST OF THE SLANG WORDS WE FIND IN AMERICA WERE COINED BY JAZZ MUSICIANS AND INNER CITY RAPPERS.
AS SOON AS A SLANG WORD ENTERS THE MAINSTREAM AND IS USED BY STANDARD ENGLISH SPEAKERS, BLACK ENGLISH SPEAKERS OFTEN STOP USING THE WORD AND INVENT A NEW WORD. HOWEVER, SOME WORDS LIKE “COOL” AND “CRIB” REMAIN IN PERENNIAL USE FOR DECADES.

A DIALECT [ACCENT] OF ENGLISH. [e.g., BOSTON TO MISSISSIPPI,

BROOKLYN TO NEW ORLEANS, CALIFORNIA TO ALABAMA, OREGON TO NORTH CAROLINA….ETC.]

E PLURIBUS UNUM (ONE COMPOSED OF MANY): EACH DIALECT IS IMPORTANT AND ADDS TO THE CULTURAL ENRICHMENT OF AMERICA.

WE CAN TEACH ALL CHILDREN STANDARD ENGLISH AS WELL AS ALLOW FOR CULTURAL LINGUISTIC DIFFERENCES.

THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION HERE IS: HOW DOES KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES ENABLE A TEACHER TO HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED IN SCHOOL?
