African American Vernacular English (AAVE) also called African American English English, Black Vernacular, Black English Vernacular (BEV), or Black Vernacular English (BVE) is an African American variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of American English. Non-linguist sometimes call it Ebonics (a term that also has other meanings or strong connotations). Its pronunciation is, in some respects, common to Southern American English, which is spoken by many African Americans and many non-African Americans in the United States. There is little regional variation among speakers of AAVE. Several creolists, including William Stewart, John Dillard, and John Rickford, argue that AAVE shares so many characteristics with creole dialects spoken by black people in much of the world that AAVE itself is a creole,while others maintain that there are no significant parallels.As with all linguistic forms, its usage is influenced by age, status, topic and setting. There are many literary uses ofthis variety of English, particularly in African-American literature.
