African American Vernacular English Examination In Twain's Huckleberry Finn



Authors : Azzouz Amina . Hamza-reguig Mouro Wassila .

Abstract

Literary dialect is a subject that has always been questioned ranging from support to opposition. Mark Twain is one of dialect employers, mainly in his outstanding novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in which he used seven dialects but mostly the African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which is the centre of concern in this work. The approach used in this paper to deal with AAVE in Huckleberry Finn is first of all theoretical to introduce the dialect mentioned and its features, and then, an analytic approach is investigated to study their employment by dialect characters in the novel. This paper aims to highlight the importance of literary dialect and stress on its literary function.
