Ebonics

The word Ebonics is made up of two words. Ebony, which means black, and phonics, which refers to sound. It is a systematic rule-governed natural speech that is consistent as any other language in sentence structure. This is referred to as syntax. What makes this speech pattern uniquely different to “so called” American Standard English is its verb tense or lack of it. An example of this can be seen in the sentence “He is sick today”. This same sentence translated in Ebonics would read “He sick today”. As you can see the verb has been omitted. However, this speech pattern is consistently used. Major controversy has arisen whether or not Ebonics is a separate language or simply a dialect. In doing my research, I have found that most linguists take the position that Ebonics is a dialect. What distinguishes dialect from language is that in dialect two speakers share most or some of the same vocabulary and is recognizable and understandable. In contrast, separate languages are present only when the inability to communicate verbally occurs.

.A Linguística é a ciência que se interessa pela linguagem em seus mais diferentes aspectos, ela é discutida por meio

• da polêmica em torno da legitimação do ebônico como uma língua.

• da dificuldade de aceitação do ebônico como uma mistura de línguas.

• do reconhecimento conquistado pelos falantes do ebônico.

• do desprestígio social do dialeto ebônico, evidenciado pelos linguistas.

Cockney é, especificamente, a pessoa nativa de East End, em Londres. Os cockneys têm um sotaque e um inglês distintos. As gírias em rima dos cockneys (cockney rhyming slang) normalmente utilizam uma expressão que combina com uma palavra. Com base no cartum, é correto afirmar que

• a fala do cockney (à esquerda) é perfeitamente compreensível ao interlocutor (à direita).

• o cockney (à esquerda) é extremamente rude ao dirigir a palavra ao interlocutor (à direita).

• o vocábulo mate, utilizado pelo cockney (à esquerda), funciona como vocativo.
