  4. Three Features of Dialect 1. Pronunciation • Same written word pronounced differently 2. Syntax • Rules of grammar may differ slightly 3. Vocabulary • Same concept represented by different words

  5. Two Types of Dialects Regional Dialects • Associated with a geographic area • Slowly fading due to media and mobility Social Dialects • Associated with a social/ethnic group • Not spoken by all members of the group • Many speakers can shift styles

  9. Social Dialects • The most important social dialect in America is called African-American Vernacular English (AAVE). • AAVE is also called “Black English” and “Ebonics.” • Syntax is an important feature as it relates to the verb to be. In AAVE, the verb to be is not always conjugated (e.g., “He be sick.”) • AAVE differs from Midland English mostly in matters of pronunciation.
