The prevailing wisdom about this usage in "Ebonics" (or whatever you want to call it) is that it comes from West Africa and came to the states with the slaves. However, as noted linguist John McWhorter has pointed out, there are no known West African languages that actually use it, nor do we find it non-English speaking countries (Haiti or Brazil for example) that had large slave populations. McWhorter argues that in fact, it came from the Celtic languages, which do use this structure and that African Americans incorporated it into their English because they originally would have learned English from Scots, Irish and Welsh debtors and indentured servants with whom they worked in the fields. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion of my own, but McWhorter (who is also African American) is a very smart dude and if he hasn't published anything definitive on it yet, I imagine that it's just a matter of time.

[–]charming_asshole 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Aye, it do be at that.

[–]TimofeyPnin 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

McWhorter has an entire chapter in Losing the Race dedicated to why he both disagrees with the initiative that spawned the name, and the current use of the name "Ebonics."

(or whatever you want to call it)

African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is what it's usually called by linguists.

EDIT Interesting and informative post, by the way, and I upvoted you for it.

[–]serpentjaguar 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

See, you can't win. It's an issue that as a white man I try not to touch at all, but just mention "ebonics," (or whatever you want to call it) and somebody will come out of the woodwork explaining that actually, dude, AAVE is the preferred nomenclature.

[–]TimofeyPnin 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Meh. I find AAVE only marginally less obnoxious, but "ebonics" is kind of like calling Standard American English Crackerphonics. Which I do, so who am I to judge?

Holy shit this guy is right. Everyone thinks life is as it do[es], and that's what we focus on, but we don't see what life is be. Life is us. You and me. We are life. You're not doing, you are being. Being life. Life (I'm on shrooms right now)

I had to actually read this out loud to myself. I wonder why it's more productive to speak something out loud than to read it in one's mind.
