African American English

Everyone has a form of communication. In the real world, there is no such thing as perfect accentless English. In life, people have their own accents. However, studies find that the Standard Varieties of English, British or Canadian English, are one of the examples of standard English. There are some nonstandard varieties of English as well in this world. For example, there are varieties such as Irish English, Scottish English, African American English, Newfoundland English, Southern American English, Caribbean English, South American English, Australian English, New Zealand English, and Pacific Creole English (https://www.uni-due.de/SVE/VE_Nonstandard_Features.htm.) As far as the concern about the convergence issues, linguistics wonder whether

The AAVE regional variation was studied through the northern and the southern parts of the United States. The historical background of African American English started with the first Africans stepping onto the shores of North America (Tomasi, 2015). This allowed the AAVE for a closer study on whether the convergence or divergence of AAVE is from surrounding white dialects (Hinton & Pollock, 2000). Also, the study of African American English goes through the history of racism, segregation, and integration. Tomasi also states that grammar, vocabulary, and disclosure style of African American English is the linguistic result of the settlement, migration, and social experiences of the American descendants of slavery although it was unclear whether or not the African Americans were considered as slaves. The African Americans immigrated to North America not as they wanted to or were free to live as they wanted to. Tomasi mentions that the Africans who spoke different languages ended up moving from West Africa to areas in the Caribbean, North America, and South America. For the African slaves, they ended up isolated from each other and not to share the same languages from each other just so they do not cooperate with each other.

The presence of postvocalic /r/ was also researched in an AAVE speech community in Philadelphia in 1988 (Hinton & Pollock, 2000). It was

For instance, the way SAE (Standard American English) is spoken from this particular sentence “My team is the best team (Justice, p. 260, 2004).” The way the African Americans speak is, “My team the best team (Justice, p. 260, 2004).” The word “is” was deleted from the sentence instead of a consonant from a word of how the African Americans speak. Another example of how SAE is spoken is, “California’s a big state (Justice, p. 260, 2004).” The way that AAE is spoken is “California a big state (Justice, p. 260, 2006)”. Ideally, when a consonant or a letter from a word is deleted makes the form of communication more difficult to encounter. Justice mentions for this kind of reduction are in the syntactic form; a verb being partially reduced as its degree of deletion (Justice, 2004). Another way of reduction is when a word from a sentence, that Justice mentions, gets reduced. For example, in AAE in a habitual way, as the sentence is said: “James be coming to school right now (Justice, p. 262, 2004).” In AAE in a habitual way, they say it, “James always be coming to school (Justice, p. 262, 2004).” Technically, the difference between those two sentences is when one of the words, “always”, was missing. This proves that it was how some African Americans would talk in English in their way of that
