Abstract

This authoritative introduction to African American English (AAE) is the first textbook to look at the grammar as a whole. Clearly organised, it describes patterns in the sentence structure, sound system, word formation and word use in AAE. The book uses linguistic description and data from conversation to explain that AAE is not a compilation of random deviations from mainstream English but that it is a rule-governed system. The textbook examines topics such as education, speech events in the secular and religious world, and the use of language in literature and the media to create black images. This much-needed book includes exercises to accompany each chapter and will be essential reading for students in linguistics, education, anthropology, African American studies and literature.

Abstract

En 1886, William-Little Hughes traduit le célèbre roman de Mark Twain, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Cette première traduction française, à travers les métamorphoses qu'elle fait subir au personnage de Jim et à sa parole, le Black English, constitue un renversement majeur de l'entreprise initiale de Twain. En effet, dans ce texte aux relents de colonialisme, Jim est confiné à un rôle de subalterne idiot, et Huck, à celui de maître blanc paternaliste et autoritaire. Toute traduction, quelle que soit sa visée, crée inévitablement des différences ; telle est la nature intrinsèque de ce processus. À travers l'étude de sept traductions françaises du roman, Judith Lavoie montre que les déplacements opérés par les traducteurs ne sont ni le fruit du hasard, ni irréfléchis, mais peuvent être associés à un réseau organisé de choix esthétique et idéologique. Qu'il s'agisse de la version de Hughes, se situant aux antipodes du roman américain, ou de celle de Suzanne Nétillard (1948), qui réactive le message contestataire de l'original, toutes les traductions sont fondées sur un véritable projet et jettent un éclairage unique sur une œuvre fascinante.

Abstract

African American language is central to the teaching of linguistics and language in the United States, and this book, in the series Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language, is aimed specifically at upper level undergraduates and graduates. It covers the entire field - grammar, speech, and verbal genres, and it also discusses the various historical strands that need to be identified in order to understand the development of African American English. The first section deals with the social and cultural history of the American South, the second with urban and northern black popular culture, and the third with policy issues. Morgan examines the language within the context of the changing and complex African American and general American speech communities, and their culture, politics, art and institutions. She also covers the current heated political and educational debates about the status of the African American dialect.

Abstract

Based on a 500,000 word corpus of early sources collected from ex-slave narratives, ex-slave recordings, and interviews with hoodoo priests, this book reconstructs the English spoken by African Americans between 1830 and 1920. By means of detailed quantitative analyses, three linguistic features (negation patterns, copula usage, and relative marker choice) are interpreted along the lines of temporal change, regional diversity, and variation across gender. Additionally, some 300 non-standard letters written by African Americans in the 19th century are compared to the main corpus in order to identify differences between speech and writing.
