Some Fictionaluses Of Black English Vernacular
Authors : Deramchia Yamina .
Abstract
The so-called black dialect made its first appearance in American fiction in the late eighteenth century and became a vogue in the nineteenth century. Black English seems to have survived as it is still used by vast numbers of Afro-Americans and appears in the speech of black characters in works by both white and black writers. When linguists focused their attention on Black English Vernacular -- as Black English is now called -- they failed to reach an agreement as to its origins. Indeed, the dialectologists claim that black dialects are derived from English, and do not differ in any significant sense from the speech of whites.
