Green (2002:222). The use of the pedagogic approach called phonics, particularly in the context of reading, may have helped mislead people into thinking that the phonics from which the term Ebonics is partially derived has this meaning. While many thought it was an effort to secure federal bilingual education funding, the claim was an unintentional error on the board’s part, according to some of those involved at the time. “They weren’t linguists,” according to Darolyn Davis, who handled crisis communications for the district during that period. “They didn’t use the word ‘language’ from a linguistic point of view.” Cantone J.

Discourse Stud. 7 The source of habitual be in AAE is still disputed. Some linguists suggest it came from the finite be in the 17th-to-19th century English of British settlers (perhaps especially those from South West England, but the usage may be the recent " Mummerset" in this context). Other linguists believe that it came from Scots-Irish immigrants, whose Ulster Scots dialects mark habitual verb forms with be and do be.

Psychol. 152 Put simply, when someone is a speaker of a language, they are said to have communicative competence in that language. Communicative competence consists of two parts: The first is linguistic competence, which means that a speaker knows the parts of a language and how to put them together. The second is performance, which basically means that the speaker of a language also knows how to use the language in terms of who should speak it, to whom, and in what situations. Walton J.

AAVE’s linguistic classification is still debated among academics, with some who argue that its proximity to standard English renders it a dialect of English, not a language. Critics of such a classification point out the social implications of subordinating AAVE in such a manner, citing AAVE’s unique grammatical structure and lexicon as justification for identifying it as a stand-alone language. Some also challenge standard English’s stringency and pervasiveness. Regardless of AAVE’s status, correcting or dismissing someone’s way of communicating is inherently discriminatory. Stepanova E.
