So just normal English? You're just changing "a" for "have". Because it's been shortened to that over the centuries. English is extremely imaginative and time specific all on its own

​@@PhyllisLane-xj5ufNope, syntax, conjugation, WIDELY DISTRIBUTED in the greater culture would be "Normal English." Just because it's an argot that the locals grasp doesn't mean it's mean it's even an actual dialect. Much less acceptable and understandable linguistic drift. English is constructed the same way Algebra is. And PEMDAS translates pretty well. If you don't write the equation correctly you fail to transfer the knowledge included in the self-contained statement. Or we could call it a sentence and apply the proper formulaic structure. Now anyone fluent in the actual American greater dialect can grasp what's being said. As presented, this is an equation missing variables and exponents. How the HELL would anyone even know what thw basic data being conveyed was? They'd have think in the EXACT same shorthand?

"You coulda been gone there" - You had an opportunity to go there in the past and you didn't take it, but doesn't necessarily mean you still can't go. "You been coulda gone there" - You had an opportunity to go there in the past _and_ that opportunity is done and gone now so you can't go.

As interesting as it is when new slang or new words are used, you have to tailor your method of communication to who it is you are talking with. English is my 3rd learned language and when I lived in Florida, I had to use proper english to be understood by majority of the people I communicated with. There I often heard hispanic people ask where the other is from, to adjust communication accordingly since most spanish speaking countries differ somewhat in word usage. I know this comes close to what is telling people to code switch, but all foreigners that move to the US have to use a whole other language to communicate with the dominant language of the country. If you try to speak with what is here called black english, it's on you to communicate in a way that the other person understands, not demand the other person knows what they don't. All foreign kids being educated in the US are taught in english and are expected to learn it like the locals use it (apart from some charter school chains like Lincoln Marti).

It wouldn't matter how he said it... they'd be outraged. It just shows how enough repetition can totally change perceptions. When you have one political party and 90% of the media repeating the same lies, over and over for 7+ years, you can turn a hero into a villain with ease. So much of Trump's life prior to running for president on a Republican ticket has been memory holed, in order to create an entirely different narrative of who he is and has always been. This is a man who received multiple awards from the NAACP and he funded Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns - twice! All of the rappers loved him and wanted to be him. He dated black women! There are photos and videos and articles about all of it, but big tech has buried it all so deeply that people just give up trying to find it and continue believing all of the BS. The powers that be (who are threatened by his exposure of their corruption) would make the father of propaganda himself (Edward Bernays) proud.

The only black job is an actor portraying a black character where the race of the character is significantly relevant to the story. I seriously doubt Trump had that in mind when he used the term. Trump unwittingly insinuated that black persons were suited for just the kind of menial, low-paying jobs that undocumented migrants typically take on to keep in the shadows and not draw too much attention from the system.

This guy is smart and I love how he presents information. I will even give him credit for studying history but it’s localized to language and historical effects on language but I’m sorry, there’s absolutely were Irish slaves and I’m not talking about the “indentured servants" even though there were many of those as well. Sorry Mr. L Boyd but mistaken on this. England was at war with Ireland and they found it profitable to sell their prisoners as slaves and following the end of the war beginning pushing indentured servitude but also stole people (including women and children) as this was a stream of revenue the English had become accustomed to. The Irish did however push to assimilate as quick as possible in order to escape slavery which was much easier for them than the black slaves. One thing to note is that black slaves cost 4-5 times that of Irish slaves so Irish slaves were more expendable.

African American Vernacular English. You'd think a 'doctor' and supposed linguist would know it's official name and not be afraid to use it. *Edit* I shouldn't write this until having finished the video but then I'd forget everything and I doubt I'm going to get much further: Before mass media, starting with radio, change in language was most certainly not drive by 'kids'; change was driven by travelers. Those being soldiers, merchants, politicians and the religious. Mass media changed this for reasons I'll leave as a thinking exercise for the reader as I've already put too much thought into a KZbin comment. My point is: a linguist, or even someone with a general doctorate, without extreme bias or an agenda would know this...

Kids do drive change, it is inarguable. However it's a very small portion of that change when independent from external factors. A prime example would be that English had gender cases prior to mixing with Norse peoples; mothers and fathers had different gendered words and started saying them in more neutral ways to better understand eachother, and kids learned language in that neutral tone. Adults change language when coming into contact with other languages, children carry that change forward

That’s like saying someone from a different are is speaking bad English because you don’t understand their dialect, when everyone from their area understands them perfectly well.

What you call "correct English" would be considered extremely inappropriate in the 1700's. If Chaucer could read Shakespeare, he would probably think our good ol' William was an illiterate peasant. Languages change, and changes in language happen from the bottom up, not from the top down. You can scream and kick and cry all you want, it's a fact. It's literally linguistics 101. In fact, English is kinda notable for not having a central institution dictating the standard (unlike, say, French, with l'Académie française), and the standard varies from country to country... Spelling differs between American English and British English, for example; is one "more correct" than the other? You're like that Roman scribe who lamented how people spoke Latin back in his day, and wrote a bunch of corrections to common mistakes he heard people say. Those mistakes... ended up being the basis for the Romance languages (Italian, Spanish, French, etc.). (It's also worth noting slang doesn't always stick, so if you're worried about "skibidi", don't, it will probably disappear in a couple years, following the same cycle of "from funny to cringe" as memes do) So, yeah, English is going to be fine. The only people worrying for its future are those who don't study linguistics. And no, fighting pedantic prescriptivism and making people aware that there is more to language than academic English is not the same thing as telling people it's okay to say "skibidi rizz" in court. Nobody's saying that. One can say that nonstandard forms of English are not incorrect, are valid forms of language, while still acknowledging using them in formal contexts is socially inappropriate. Both can be true.

Africans were brought here as indentured servants, at first. Then, they were enslaved for life. Indentured servitude is a 'temporary' form of slavery. Some indentured servants did volunteer to come to the New World. Some were children sold into servitude. Some were captured on the streets. Some were prisoners who were given a choice: die in prison, or go to the New World as an indentured servant. Not unusual for a master to work an indentured servant to death, because if they survived, they would need to get the end of contract payout. Slavery in the New World is way more complex than what you've learned in school.

love seeing all the racist comments as if we don't speak like hicks half the time or with a "country accent" which to some is seen as just as incoherent as "black english", just because you dont understand it or think it sounds "ghetto" means nothing. most kids are starting to speak like this regardless of race so one day you will hear this kind of speech pattern in more and more professional jobs and it is becoming mainstream, It just be that way and it doesnt mean we are being "dumbed down" saying that inherently is racist because you are assuming they're dumb so there way of speech is also dumb. One could easily say the same about rednecks and hicks

He's just trying to justify his job / degree and sell some books. Language has "morphed" all throughout time, nothing new. Personally, I don't think adapting to speak "busted" english is a good thing in an english speaking society.

Woke has two definitions now deal with it. Kids are not the only ones who change language. African American language comes from British slang in the slums😂 so it's not inherent to black Americans. So because it's so nuanced and complex while using one word to have so many definitions that aren't close to each other it seems like we should stop using it. The reason the English language is so big is because it's so precise for the most part. I'd also point out that English has filler words like,um, uh, and er. We then get into id call lower class English were we use expletives as filler words and sound extremely unintelligent, this fng dude came fng steppin to my fng mom etc. With black English you have all the prior language nuances i just listed plus extra fillers on the end of every sentence na wa imean. We also have specific durogatory words that not everyone can use without being met with violence. The more you explain the worse the language becomes to me personally.

USA has words from every country under the sun, name the country someone came here from it, our lanhuage of oroginal English from England never really existed to behin with, it was Mexican , Canadian and central indigernous tribes. Those from Africa just added to the mix.

Does any of that complexity help with communication and make each thing said more clear? No. That is the problem with it all. Everything you just exemplified was how something could mean many different thing instead of one thing. Less of that. Not interested

When I travel around the U.S. people can easily figure out I am from California. I still dont understand what a California accent is aside from we correctly pronounce all of our words.

I’m from Oklahoma, and knowing many Cali transplants over the years, y’all have a certain clip to your speech that stands out. But it’s not nasal like the accents from back east. And you don’t speak as slowly as we do. 👍 I don’t know about other regions of the US, but when you come to my area, if you don’t have that Okie “twang” to your speech, we know instantly that you’re not from here, lol. So it may not be that people notice your accent, but instead are noticing your LACK of accent. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

Y'all don't pronounce words correctly, though. And yes, you have a very distinct accent, as distinct as my southern one.
