The Impact of African American English (AAVE) on Language and Culture
In this chapter, they discuss the difference between slang and African American English (AAVE), emphasizing that AAVE is a dialect rather than mere slang. They explain that AAVE is a conscious decision made by African Americans to sound different from mainstream America, and it is the way they learned to speak the language. They also compare AAVE to regional dialects in other parts of the United States.
